Even so, this is the first good replica I've seen for sale for this specimen. Personally, I'm mainly interested in anatomy. So I have lots of nice replicas in my collection that would otherwise be far out of reach for me if they had been real. Yeah, that's the "for" argument in my mind. It would allow me to have a very good representation of an original fossil I would never be able to have in my collection. The "against" argument. Is that I am on a limited fossil budget. And there are a good few real fossils that I feel I should add to my collection first. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's even weighted slightly. Nice even more special now that the orginal has been sold Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stethacanthus and Helicoprion were two of my favourite early 'sharks' as a kid reading about sharks... Partial Helicoprion davisii whorl from the Early Permian, Phosphoria Fm., Idaho: November seems to be a Helicoprion month this year it seems Great specimen, thought I'd share mine. Came from an old collection after it was discovered in the early 1930's.

Dimitris Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yesterday I received two packets. First one is related to Xmas gift event, the other one was sent by my friend Sophie from France. A nice collection of Upper Oxfordian marine fauna, including a sponge, which I didn't have at all. Out of all, I fell in love with these three, especially with the Cretirhynchia. Such a beautiful brachipod. Thank you Sophie!! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
