sseth Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I have been asked my a few members to share some of the pieces I display in my home (with my wife's gracious permission of course) I will begin with the piece she likes least but can't get it down. It is my Prognathodon skull from Morocco. It is just about 5 feet in length and sits atop the wall in my kitchen. I have also included a picture of how it began. _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sseth Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Here is a second skull that she really does not love but tolerates. It is a Platecarpus skull also from Morocco. It was in such great condition that I simply cleaned off the matric and did not reinflate it. _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sseth Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Here is one of my favorites that has been relegated to a shelf in the basement. I have 2 sets of shelves that I am allowed to display on so I am sure to pack them. This is a little deer sp? from Europe. It is approximately 4 million years old. _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggedy Man Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I'd pay $10 bucks for a walk around! Your personal collection seen here is just amazing. That puts the Milwaukee Public Museums displayed fossils to shame..I wish I could say I am joking, but I am not. Yep, $10 would definitely be worth it...lol I'll be here all night Best regards, Paul Edited October 2, 2015 by Raggedy Man ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgehiker Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks for sharing. Like everything but especially the 'long tooths'. There's a bonding among members. We sure appreciate these things more than some vase, lamp, ornament , etc. I just keep one display upstairs...a coffee table with Dino material under the glass. Otherwise, all is displayed in the 'museum' in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm in love with your Prognathodon! Thanks for sharing just some of your collection, Seth.

Auspex Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Highest quality, terrific appeal; "museum-grade" is an overused term, but these have it.

snolly50 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Wonderful, wonderful things. You have inspired me for trackway display - mine currently are just sitting on a shelf. Yours look great on the wall! What is the source of the bracket holding the larger plate? Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrieder79 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Whoooooo! Shoot boy! Look at those things. Do my eyes decieve me or did I see a Parotodos Benedeni peeking out at the bottom of one of your pics? Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver.

amphipod Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I love the collection, and it looks like a painstaking but well executed job of reassembling Prognathodon's head, how long did that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Such fine, fine specimens! Even museums can't easily afford sabretooth, and you got three! One day I gotta pay a visit to your place man. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!
