ajracrew Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, as promised, here is my full collection. I'll be uploading pics periodically. The first set of pictures are teeth from my early collection... mostly lower quality and non rare teeth. I'm saving the best for last! Let me know if there are any teeth in particular you would like to see close ups of. First pic has megs from Venice, a posterior Chilean meg, New Caledonia meg, and a deformed Aurora meg.

Lloyd Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Great collection. Lots of really pretty Megs from all over. You must really invest some time into hunting to have that many... I have a few, but no where even remotely close to what you've just shown us. Thanks for the peek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajracrew Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Majority are purchased. I've been trying to find my own but we all know its not the easiest! My largest find is the meg tooth from Venice pictured above. This year I'm hoping to get out there and grow my collection by finding my own.
