Uncle Siphuncle Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 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.. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Very nice. Though I think I would spill my coffee. What are the spiky things in the big grey rock in the middle? Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Excellent way to incorporate the fossils into home decor! I'll take 3, please.

What are the spiky things in the big grey rock in the middle? 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 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. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."
