2 new shark teeth displays.

Yesterday I finished my “homemade” riker mounts for my shark teeth.

Due that those displays are hard to find in my area, I went to the IKEA for photo frames, I found some where there was more or less 1cm between the bottom and the glass.

I also had some soft foam left from extractor hoods that would fit perfectly.

At my first attempt I noticed that the foam wasn’t exerting enough pressure against the glass to keep the teeth in fixed position. ( some of the teeth sided to the bottom of the frame)

This was solved by adding a simple piece of cardboard behind the foam and compressing the whole.

This is the last result ( note that there are 2 ray teeth still sliding away, I’ll have to adjust this a little)

The 1st ones are Belgian Miocene teeth

the 2nd ones are Belgian eocene teeth and fish remains:

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Nice displays I am working on a Whitby ammonite frame at the moment, I got the frame from a 2nd hand shop and took out the picture that was in it and that has given me a good space to mount the fossils in, the tip with the foam and cardboard will come in handy.

Regards

Beautiful displays you have there Kevin! I too am partial to the cow shark teeth: )

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

I'm using quilting foam. It's really cheap from fabric shops or a well know auction site and comes in lots of different thicknesses Mike.
