Fossil Claw Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I took the green river fossils I just bought from RJB and some I already had and put them together for a green river ecosystem display shelf. Fish, gastropod, plants and insects. Edited August 17, 2016 by Fossil Claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
