My Fossil Collection (And a couple crystal/minerals)

Hey everyone, thought I would do a post of my collection. I started collecting fossils in April of this year and here is what I have in my collection so far :) (By the way, you may have to zoom out when clicking on the pictures, for some reason they're super big)

Nice to see your growing collection. That skull is very realistic and a good representation of Velo.

Thanks Frank.

I was surpised at how good the replica is. And it was also a really low price

Very nice start, the best part of collecting ( at least to me) is it's always growing and evolving : )

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

How I would mount this Meg; I would get a riker frame to fit, Put sand and maybe a few small shells in the box. Than put the tooth into the sand hiding where the broken part would be. Solidify it with B-72, and when dry put the cover on and I think it would make a great treasure display.

Thanks guys. I like how my collection is diversifying even though my main interest is dinosaurs

That sounds great! However, I don't think I'll do it exactly like that. I want to get a stand for it with the Megalodon plaque on it or just a riker case. I don't want to glue anything because I don't want it to be in a fixed position haha. I want to be able to hold it freely :) That is a great idea though! Thank you :P
