mattbsharks Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share my collection and also ask for some advice. I am looking for a good way to display my nicest makos, hemis and great whites on the top shelf. I am planning to display my megs as pictured in one of the below photos. Please comment any ideas you may have for me on how to display them. I restored a lot of the teeth in my collection. I am 16 so I have a very limited budget and could never afford all of these things if they were the real thing. That being said, here it is: colorful partial teeth small meg in matrix megalodon teeth on their shelf biggest is 6.62" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Don't have any advice to offer, but that's a mighty fine collection! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattbsharks Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 and last but not least great whites. Please, if anyone has a good idea for a display for these I could make/buy that isn't too expensive and could fit on a book shelf, then please let me know. 53 minutes ago, WhodamanHD said: Don't have any advice to offer, but that's a mighty fine collection!

Recently @sixgill pete posted a thread that had a cheaper way of displaying some smaller things, maybe a few of your teeth could fit in a hockey puck display case with some cut foam placed behind it, basically a plastic ryker case. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip! I restored those great whites this morning. I buy complete blades and pop on a new root. It's a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Nice collection. "Riker mounts" are a good way to display shark teeth. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
