LiamL Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 This is my fossil collection that i've acquired over the last few years. Some i've found my self but most i've purchased. My collection is not neat and most are not labelled sorry. It's a little crammed because i'm low on space. Firstly this large box is full of various fossils that i've decided to not put on display. Lots of bits and bobs. A large ammonite from Morocco, genuine mosasaur jaw and polished orthoceras. At the center back there is a iguanodon vertebrae. Then further to the left there are various labled fossils from kent. Some plant fossils, Crab from USA, ammonite and bivalves and a belemnite phragmocone. Here we have a starfish, ammonite, bivalve belemnites. At the far right there is two shark teeth. Lots of different ammonites. Some more ammonites and trilobites. My favourite reptile is the ichthyosaur. On the bottom right there are three bits of amber. Various bits here, some dinosaur teeth and three megalodon teeth. A Knightia fish, my smaller Keichousaurus and a ichthyosaur jaw section. Another Knightia fish and a fish negative impression from brazil. Shrimp fossil and two fish scales from Morocco. At the back there is my bigger Keichousaurus. Thanks for looking through my collection! 4 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I really like the look of a collection that has no more room to spare, very much like my own. Nice ammonites as well cheers Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 A little cluttered, but that's just fine, since I can see some very fine specimens there. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Pretty good start! You've got quite a few things I don't have. If I were you I'd set aside a bit of time to put numbers on each one and record their data in a book or printed page, if not labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Very nice collection! Lovely keich’s too. I would strongly advise you to start making labels for the fossils. I’ve had the bad experience of having no info whatsoever left on my old fossils, as when I got them a few years back I didn’t put a label. And now I completely forgot their info. So I would recommend that you make the labels ASAP, before that you stupidly forget like I did. (We always tell ourselves: “oh, it’s fine, I’ll remember it”; but from personal experience, I can guarantee that we don’t... ). Labeling may not be the funnest thing to do, but it is definitely worth it in the long run! You can also do Wrangellian’s technique, that works great too. You probably know this, but just to repeat, a good label should have: • Common name • Latin species name (if unknown, put “indet.”) • Locality (with country) • Formation (if known) • Age • How and when you acquired it Some examples: Balthic clam Macoma balthica Zandmotor, Netherlands Eem Formation, Eemian, Pleistocene; 120’000 yo Found 16/8/2018 Fish tooth Aidachar sp. Kem Kem beds, Morocco (unknown formation) Cenomanian, Cretaceous; 95 myo Bought 10/3/2018 And you always know that if you need help labeling stuff, your TFF friends are always there to help you!
