Squatina donation (NJ) + an idea for donations

[frankh8147]

Hello all; Happy New Year!

 

I recently made a 'fossil corner' in my basement and came up with an idea for the certificate I received for donating my New Jersey Cretaceous Squatina. vert to the Trenton Sates Museum. It's always tough to donate a nice fossil but this is going to make it a lot easier for me to do this in the future; I copied and printed out two pictures I took of the specimen and taped them to the document, then framed and put it on my wall. I really like the way it came it out and plan to do this with future specimens I donate.

 

Also, it's not a finished product (as you can see, I need better lighting and I also have a few other displays to put up) but here is the start of my 'fossil corner'.

 

Cheers!

-Frank
