Coffee, Anyone?


Uncle Siphuncle

Recommended Posts

Our coffee table.  Little of this, little of that.  Smalls go in Rikers, big stuff in cabinets or on shelves.  Medium sized stuff needs somewhere to live too..

Very nice.:)

Though I think I would spill my coffee. 

What are the spiky things in the big grey rock in the middle?

Excellent way to incorporate the fossils into home decor! :wub: 

I'll take 3, please. :D

Archaeocidaris?  Looks like a great piece, would like to see it closer.

 

Looks very nice, I've been thinking of something like this for a big ichnofossil 'jigsaw puzzle' that I have, but it would be somewhat on the large side...

Is that glass on top? I would think plexiglass would be safer for something my size, unless there is a good strong type of glass that can be had for the same or less money.

I think you may be right! 

Certainly some ancient sea urchin.

Wow! What a piece! :drool:

Indeed an Archie slab under glass. I think it has 8 or 9 on it.  But why squint at that when we can look at this instead???  Counting halves, thisone has about 20.

That one is a beauty. I'd be happy with a piece with just one on it...

I'd be having a lot of coffee, then ;) 
This table is a unique idea! (well, not unless I make one when I'm older :ninja:)
