Guest N.AL.hunter Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 OK, I still have to unpack fossils and organize them on the shelves. Currently just putting stuff up there to get them out of their boxes. I also have an old store display case at my wife's work place that will be placed in the center of the room to house my xaphactinus audix partial skull. I then need to replace the current lighting with something better, track or workshop fluorescents? Also place blinds on the windows and get my computer used to catalog the collection on its desk in front of the window. But besides all that, it is finished.... ha ha.

RJB Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wow! A room with nothing but fossils on display! I would think that every fossil collector in the world has wanted a room like this. But I dought not too many do. Very nice! Im still dreaming of my room. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well I unpacked about 90% of my collection and discovered that I will need to add another unit of shelving. Luckily I have a four foot area of wall left next to the closet door. I also was able to pick up and get my old store display case in the room and put my Xaphactinus skull pieces in it. Nothing is in its permanent place. I just wanted to get them unpacked. I'll spend the next year or so arranging everything by type (all brachs together, all trilos together ... ). And the light really sucks in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Very nice!

Nice what looks like a double TB in that first group of pics...Russian? Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Cool beans, Del! Did you leave room for a place to nap, perchance to dream of fossils?
