Just thought it would be cool to make a share your fossil collection post. Here are my favorites. I have some other little fossils but I'm sure they are your everyday fossils. So, please share your collection. Looking forward to seeing your fossils.

Humm, they just don't sound quite as scary as Hollywood makes them out to be at a little over 1 1/2 feet tall.  What is the size of your Meg?

I dunno, but that kinda looks like a small mosasaur tooth.

It does appear to have strong serrations on it... :unsure:

I do have quite a few fossil crabs, but this is one of my favorites.  Sometimes when prepping out a crab I just go through the motions just to get it done, but this one I truly enjoyed prepping.   Also, this crab is about 3 or 4 times bigger than the average concretion as you can see by the 'normal' ones in the background.  This is Pulalius vulgaris from Eocene deposits in the state of Washington.

Yeah, my cousin said they were actually small. There were bigger raptor species that Jurassic Park probably based the size of the raptors off of one of the bigger species. The megalodon is 3 1/2 inches.

Thank you very much for sharing everyone! Very impressive collections! Please keep sharing. I have some new ideas of what to add to my collection next. 

The fossils I have came from a very knowledgeable and trusted source in Wyoming. I hope to visit his store sometime.
