Crann Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi, Dactylioceras I have had a while after prepping it, it is pyrite so was a bit stubborn, pretty big Dac though, the monkey puzzle stump is a recent find and is laced with jet, makes a nice stand for the Ammonite or whatever I decide to put on next, wanted to share, thanks, Alan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I try to incorporate natural bases into my displays whenever possible. I've used driftwood, stones, old barn wood, even other fossils. Here is a sperm whale sculpture my sister made for me many years ago. Originally she gave it to me on a driftwood base. Unfortunately, it fell off the shelf during one of our famous earthquakes and broke the tale. Years later when I started going to Shark Tooth Hill, I replaced the lightweight base with a very heavy chunk of whale vertebrae. Ain't nothing going to move that baby now, It weighs a ton. Just for perspective, the vert is 6" across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
