OK, I think I figured it out. Here is the Leptictis skelton. I can't rememebr why i took the picture upside down, but there it is. If I rotate the photo the shading looks crappy. post-1450-12756276112024_thumb.jpg

And here is a close up of the skull and fore armpost-1450-12756276906698_thumb.jpg

This is one of the prides of my collection, and evenhas made it into a book on fossil mammals.

It's incredible this skeleton, is very beutiful, JPC. I have a new piece on my collection, A little and unprepared skull of oreodont.

I buyed this piece the last week, and has not yet come to my house. When you have it in my hands, clean it

Some of my faves are ammonites we collected, late cretaceous. The small one is replaced with yellow calcite and the sutures are still visible in the swirl. Love ammonites!

Fossil ferns from the Carboniferous. I've had the chance to collect some beautiful specimens from Clifton, New Brunswick and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. There's just something about articulated plants that attracts me. =P

Yes; familiar, but...not! The intricate patterns are captivating too.
