aplomado Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I just put together a new Megalodon tooth mini display case... The tooth is 5.3 inches from Carolina. I put smaller damaged teeth around the bottom. I got the shadow box from Hobby Lobby. It is an unusual shadowbox because it has glass all around the sides. I got the image background from the American Museum of Natural History. I plan to make at least one other similar display case for other fossils, with different picture backgrounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmoceras Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I love it - what a great idea. The black and white old photo really gives it charm. Can't wait to see the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDudeCO Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Love the look of this, this could be fun to do with some random small shark teeth too from Florida! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Excellent. Makes a great display. And, as Kosmoceras said, the b&w picture takes it over the top.

RJB Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Very cool. Wonderful way to display some sharks teeth. I might have to do one of these now? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplomado Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 The shadowbox I used is at Hobby Lobby and is called the "See All Style Shadow Box".... you could fit any 11x14 image at the back. I paid $20 for it (on sale). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
