Haven’t found a person stateside that sells these yet but I really really love these Those are nice, I’ve got 4 small ones that I’ve used for tiny things. I’m saving up for one of those map drawers, hoping I can find one cheap at a garage sale sometime. Rather nice collection you got there by the way! one CM scale, for those who want to know, clockwise from top left: self collected triakis sp. Paleocene, self prepped Rhaetian Severnicthys sp (in matrix found by John Brewer), Trichurides sp. Eocene of Virginia (bought), Thecacampsia sp. Paleocene (self-collected). “...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...
Woopaul5 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I found mine on Etsy actually. It had water damage so it was an affordable antique. Just keep checking Craigslist and FB market place. There’s seems to be a few in NY and central PA if you’re willing to make the drive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilnut Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Nice display but I just have to ask which of the hemis is pathological? Please describe its patho features. I would greatly appreciate that information Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please describe its patho features. I would greatly appreciate that information Thanks This one I believe, it’s root is smaller on the one side and the enamel has a strange curve on that side which you can’t see in this picture, I’ll see if I can get one tomorrow. Perhaps due to crowding? I’m not especially knowledgeable on pathos and only have a few. 1 “...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...
fossilnut Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Thanks for the description. I look forward to seeing the other side. I want to learn more to be able to recognize pathology. Interesting theory of overcrowding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanDye Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Nice collection! I have a suggestion to make your riker look equally nice, take an old shirt you never use anymore and cut out a square a little bigger than the foam plate under the shark teeth, and then overlap the shirt cut out on the foam and tuck in the extra pieces underneath it. Here's what mine looks like: Edited June 19, 2018 by RyanDye Mispelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
