FossilDudeCO Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Here it is, the show booth layout! What do yah think? did we get enough fish this year? I am kind of fond of the table, it is fully lit all the way around the inside with LED lights! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Is that the best you can do!?! LOL (That's what I always said to my daughter when she came home with a 99 on a school test). Looks great! I want that fat Phareodus that's hanging over the giant Lepisosteus! 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will try harder next year I promise! If anyone saw my other posts you might notice the croc is missing here!! We just didn't have room, such a nice problem There are still a few medium to small fish in boxes as well, hiding under the tables and in the trailer! I am a big fan of phareodus, but my all time favourite is Notogoneous! I got to keep a phareodus this year that I found, he will probably be prepped out next month. I will post pictures at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it has two heads lol. Here is a close up of the Gar head, Microscope prep had been finished, but we hadn't covered the crack yet He does indeed have 2 heads! The top plate of the cranium floated away a little. It's bound to happen when you get such a large piece of bone! I like it because you can see just about everyone of the cranial elements and the teeth from the top of the jaw! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
