aplomado Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I filled an old shadow box (originally with dried butterflies) with Cretaceous fossil shark teeth I got from PaleoRon. Here is how it came out; eventually it will hang on my office wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Beats the butterflies, like these type of shark teeth displays. Friend of mine just used a old flower vase and filled it with shark teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled it back out and took it home. It's gold-colored and oval. I thought it would make a great display for a shark teeth too: a photo of the tin with the lid on and then a photo with the lid off with the bottom covered with teeth but arranged so each tooth could be seen. I like your idea too - the tooth jumble representing a snapshot of nature and its many directions in response to the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 When you can't enjoy the individual looks of each broken shark teeth, you roll them in into some tantalizingly awesome decor. I feel like I should do something similar with my box of random shark teeth I had plans of trading off. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I also do the same thing with glass bottles with toppers. Mine contain shark teeth, brachiopods and chinois stems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
