Bobby Rico Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) In response to some messages regards my macro clip on lens photos, I just thought I’d do another small post about them. They’re really reasonably priced and as long as your phone / tablet has a good enough camera you’ll get decent result. It does take practice, a steady hand and a good light source but very easy to get some wonderful results. I know it doesn’t compare to a really high grade camera and lens but I am consistently pleased with the photos I get from it, and if you’re on a budget it’s a great alternative.

Bobby Rico Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) This is my treasured specimen, small and not perfect a serious collector may think it is junk but rare from this location . Coloborhynchus from Bexhill Wealden UK . Coloborhynchus was a giant pterosaur flying reptile and the largest toothed pterosaur. Size of tooth: 1 cm in length. I made the stand it is a cut and flame polished Acrylic block . I then drilled out the block to make a well to house the fossil in safely. A quick illustrations and label and jobs done.
