Ludwigia Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 A package arrived from the USA today which I'd been awaiting with trepidation for a while. The content was intact and I did a little dance Aza, who came along with @Jeffrey P for the German excursion had promised to send me a nice Meg as a token of thanks for showing her around and doing a bit of prep work for her on her finds. I've been wishing for a tooth of this quality for quite a long time, so needless to say, I'm a happy man today. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

SailingAlongToo Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 @Ludwigia That is a SWEET tooth and worthy of being in anyone's collection. You are the lucky one to have it now! Now, if you only had 1 of @aerogrower's metric scale cubes to show off with it, you would be in style!!

Ludwigia Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thanks guys. I sure am happy to be able to call one of those my own now, even if I didn't find it myself. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I love how the Forum brings people together. The generosity of great hosts tends to boomerang back to them, to complete a cycle of friendship and mutual respect. What a great story, and gift.

Fossil-Hound Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 @Ludwigia that is one sweet Meg! You should get a stand or display case for it. I have mine on a stand that says MEGALODON in big bold letters. Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 She sent a stand along which is a perfect fit and displays the tooth without disturbing the view. What more could you ask?
