Astounding collection.

Hope you have room for you in your home.

If it keeps going, you will have to find another place to live.

How about close-up of the two fish in concretions - one looks like m. Cret. of Brazil, the other e. Triassic of Madagascar.

Reading through this entire post, I see you have managed to collect a few basics to start a collection. Keep it up and maybe someday you will have a good collection.

LOL!!!!!!!!!! Man, you have accumulated a very, and I mean very impressive collection that covers a lot of different aspects of paleontology. Kudos to you my friend, Your collection would make most museum curators jealous.

I too like to collect a wide variety of fossils. However, I seriously don't think I will ever be able to acquire that many fine specimens in my life time. Way to go!

Thank you! I can't get enough of fossils.
