sseth Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Here are a few pics I took. Yes I am still alive, and I appreciate all those who wished me well. I will start with a couple of mine. Here is my Pteranodon. I couldn't put on half of one wing because of space. The rhino on the right is also mine. Enjoy I will try and add a few more later. 5 _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Great photos! Great specimens! 8 hours ago, HamptonsDoc said: Woah, That skull is wild looking. I'm wondering how much of that is real because that nose looks seriously weird. Though I don't think I've ever seen a complete skull of Prognathodon currii before.

They'll point out exactly what's original vs restored. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby asked me how much I spent. I told him I spent more than I should've and not as much as I could've! All money well spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was asking $10,000 each and then dropped the price to $8,000 each. Thought they would have looked nice on my shelf with little hats and tiny musical instruments in their hands but not for that price! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opisthotriton Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Wait, those were real? I assumed they were jokes! I guess it makes sense that a lot of cubs died in the caves without ever making it outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Impressive.. I like that cidaroid. Amazing the stuff that is available to those who have a pocketbook for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it makes sense that a lot of cubs died in the caves without ever making it outside. I thought they were a joke too at first and then noticed the fontanelles on the skull. The person selling them said they are all original except for some of the fingers and toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt4teeth Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you Seth and HamptonsDoc for posting all these great pictures. I have not been to the forum in awhile, but knew it was that time of year, so I came looking for some Tucson pics. They did not disappoint! Hopefully one of these years I can actually make it to the show. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcordova Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thanks for sharing the pictures, is like fossilporn! I was hoping this year would be able to make my first trip there, I´ll have to wait at least one more year...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesuslover340 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Note to self: If ever I get to attend the Tucson fossil show, LEAVE MY WALLET AT HOME! That being said...from the looks of those pics, I think I would have died and gone to heaven! That's better than any museum!
