And entirely mounted the Psittacosaurus looks like this. 
I ordered the skeleton in february but there were quite a lot of delays, but luckily it arrived today and it was well worth the long wait. 
Really love the skeleton and it looks amazing in the room, my first mounted skeleton for the collection! :D 

 

Psittacosaurus replica, Jiufotang Formation, Liaoning Province, China.
Cretaceous, 120 mya

Quite a difference cin size compared to the Spinosaurus skull ;)

  • 1 month later...

I got a massive surprise yesterday when I returned home from my trip to London!
3 fossils which I ordered nearly 2 months ago, which didn't arrive (normally arrives within a week) and were presumed lost did eventually arrive to my great delight and surprise! 
Luckily the seller did provide excellent service and communication and provided a refund when they were presumed lost, but now they did return I messaged him and payed back the refund. :) 
 

My first Tyrannosaurus rex tooth found in Hell Creek Formation, Carter County, Montana, USA (66 mya)

I never thought I would get a T-rex tooth since I always foudn them way to expensive but this tooth was a very affordable price for it's siz and quality. It's very good looking and the size that I really wanted, I was kinda gutted to think it got lost during shipping. I was very relieved to see that this beauty did arrive nonetheless. 
My first ever genuine Tyrannosaurus rex fossil!

 

I went outside to make some pictures of this amazing tooth, since photographs inside don't capture it's amazing color and details!

This tooth definiatly is one of my favorite pieces in the collection and therefor deserves it's own riker box.

Another fossil I recieved was this small yet amazing dentary tooth from a Thescelosaurus neglectus tooth found in Hell Creek Formation, Carter County, Montana, USA (66 mya old)

They are 2 very nice additions to my Hell Creek display and I am very happy to have recieved them :D

The last fossil I recieved was this Aetosaur osteoderm found in the Bull Canyon Formation, Quay County, New Mexico, USA (Triassic, 227 - 208 mya)
Which was something I wanted a long time for my Bull Canyon collection.

Nice pickups- Just a note, the Edmontosaurus from the Hell Creek is E. annectens while E. regalis is slightly older and from a different formation (Horseshoe Canyon fm. from Alberta).

Thanks for pointing it out!
Don't really know how that error managed to slip in when making the cards since I have it labeled correcty in my fossil excel sheet, but I'll change it the next time I'll make new cards. :)

  • 3 weeks later...

It has been a bit quiet with collection updates these past few months and that is simply due to the fact that may or may not have to do with the fact that I have spend a little bit too much money on fossils. :D 

 

But these past few days have been all about fossils again! :) 

 

Last saturday I went on my first ever fossil hunting trip with the BVP (Belgische vereniging voor Paleontologie) to Eben-Emael in Belgium. 

It's a limestone quarry only a 20 minutes drive away from me. The quarry is part of the formation of Maastricht, and lies only 3,5 km away from the historic ENCI quarry in Maastricht, the famous type location for the Maastrichtian.
Here are most of the finds from the trip after I mostly cleaned & prepped them.

A large Pteria approximata which I recieved from one of the leading members of the BVP during the trip

My favorite bivalve find of the trip, a Neithea regularis

5d5be01fe455b_15662907282280629(15).jpg.96f2f3e1f96f754b4ab3f8b81a220dbc.jpg

 

A nice oyster imprint on limestone

A small brachiopod, Trigonosemus pectiniformis

Multiple Scaphopoda & Polychaeta fossils. 
Some of the bigger ones are Pyrgopolon mosae.

A large oyster I haven't been able to ID properly

Some more oysters, all probably Acutostrea uncinella

A very nice Hemipneustes striatoradiatus that I got from @Manticocerasman during the trip

5d5be62a5f63e_156614603126631162(29).jpg.18f1d0dc84a0d15e09e1321adba9bf65.jpg

 

Another Hemipneustes striatoradiatus I am currently prepping, but it is very fragile, so I might not prep it out entirely.

Multiple pieces of crab/lobster claws, probably all belonging to Mesostylus faujasi

A flint pipe, which was formed when the ancient burrows of Decapoda were filled with Silicon dioxide which later formed these flint pipes in the limestone.

And a trace fossils called "Lepidenteron lewesiensis" which are the scales & remains of fish.

A Utahraptor ostrommaysorum manus claw replica by John Mac.
Unfortunatly John will soon stop to manufacture the smaller replica's like claws & teeth to focus more on the larger projects.
A pity since he made the best fossil replica's out there but I am looking forward to see more of his bigger projects, so this is probably the last claw replica I'll get from him.

The claw looks great between my other dinosaur claw replica's

And I also funded a kickstarter project from another company that produces fossil replica's, the same one where I got my Psittacosaurus skeleton from. 
If the kickstarter reaches it's goal they will start producing Composagnathus fossil replica's & mounted skeletons. If they reach their goal I shall recieve a cool composognathus skull & hand replica somewhere around the new year. :) 
I might even buy a full skeleton to display alongside my Psittacosaurus when I have saved up some money.

I got some new and very exciting fossils in the mail today! :D 

A Tragoceras falcatum fragment from an old collection, found in Siljan in Sweden (Ordovician)

5d77ed04dc828_156814009071334025(1).jpg.87f4951177b3808131ea965340ed5578.jpg

 

An Unidentified crystalized brachiopod, age and location unknown.

5d77ed0fec79e_156814009071334025(7).jpg.df9ad04dc2738b3cd5d01ea5ef5c33f8.jpg

 

My first Solnhofen fossil, a Perisphinctidae ammonite from an old collection found in Malm Zeta, Solnhofen Limestone, Germany (Jurassic, 150 mya)

156814009071334025.jpg.36a2fbccf44d03db262627000da341ef.jpg

 

A Sperm whale tooth (Physeter macrocephalus) found in Antwerp, Belgium (Pliocene)

5d77ed111e1fb_156814009071334025(8).jpg.11d8c5d3ad0969530a0ab07f1a005dca.jpg

 

A Steneosaurus bollensis tooth from an old collection (both negative & positive) found in the Posidonienschiefer, Holzmaden, Germany (Jurassic, 180 mya)

5d77ed064d331_156814009071334025(2).jpg.97fa008faeac936ee89b868b7d7b5bfd.jpg5d77ed080fdc6_156814009071334025(3).jpg.658886c849f71d1ac327e002ec1986fa.jpg

 

My first North American Mosasaur fossil, a Mosasaur vertebra (possibly Tylosaurus) found in Taylor Group, North Sulfur River, Fannin County, Texas, USA (Cretaceous, 75 mya)

5d77ed098fa9b_156814009071334025(4).jpg.0287eb2b7ca249bc3b9e627f067ca662.jpg5d77ed0badcce_156814009071334025(5).jpg.d4e052629ae0044be942e787d43ac2ba.jpg

 

And my favorite and rarest acquisition, a Pachyvaranus crassispondylus vertebra found in Ouled Abdoun in Morocco (Cretaceous, 70 mya) 
Pachyvaranus was a aquatic varanid, and although very little can be found of the species but what I've found matches with the vert I have! :)

A microscopic slide of Isua Greenstone, one of the oldest terrestrial rocks on earth and according to some even the oldest fossil on earth, although there is still a lot of debate wether it's geological of biological in origin. Nonetheless an amazing piece. 

5d77ed151f3ab_156814009071334025(9).jpg.f0a81fea62ab766402bffd38ab8ed98e.jpg

 

And the kickstarted for the Composognathus replica's got funded so I should get my skull and hand somewhere in the beginning of next year! :D

I did some more prepping on the Igdamanosaurus tooth block and while I did expose 2 fish verts and a few bone pieces. I was able to find a nice Enchodus tooth on the back of the block, right behind were I dug out the Cretalamna tooth.

And while I am still have to think of a spot to place the finds of this saturday (and I still have to treat most of them with paraloid) I did however give our most prized find of the day (6,5 cm long C. hastalis tooth) a nice spot among my biggest shark teeth

That euripterid is awesome!

Thank you, I am very happy with it, I've been wanting one even before I started my collection.  
It was the main reason I went to the fossil fair. :)

Thank you, I am very happy with it, I've been wanting one even before I started my collection.  
It was the main reason I went to the fossil fair. :) 

I really want to get a euripterid too, but so far I don't know where I could either find one or purchase it at an affordable price.

Also,

Where did you get that cast that is right below it? I have been looking for due to the exceptional preservation of the arachnid but I can't find one anywhere.

I know the pain, I was looking for one for quite some time before I bought this one.

Most ones that I saw available for sale were Eurypterus remipes from New York, but do to import cost they were a bit to expensive to my taste. 

I wanted a complete specimen, didn't need to be big, but I wanted to have both it's paddles and I didn't want to spent more than 200 euros on it.
I was lucky enough that there were a few eastern european vendors at my local fossil fair so for the first time there was quite a lot of choice on Eurypterids and I was lucky enough to pick up this little guy with both paddles and no reconstructions for quite a reasonable price that was within my budget. 

 

I had my best luck finding mine at a fossil fair, maybe next time you visit one, take some spare cash with you and who knows, you might end up as lucky as me :) 

 

The cast is that of an Eophrynus prestvicii which I was lucky enough to find for sale in my regular fossil shop, it had came from an old collection. 
Unfortunatly I have never seen one for sale since.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You guys have some great fossil fairs over there! Nothing like them in my area. We have rock/lapidary shows but usually not many fossils available.

Yes, I definiatly can't complain about it. I can usually find what I am looking at the fairs :) 

One of the pro's of European fairs is that people from all over Europe come to sell their finds and luckily for us there are quite a few nice locations for fossils in Europe & Northern Africa. 
Although some vendors with North American material would be most welcome as well as those fossils are quite hard to find at fairs here.

Yes, the cost of shipping across the ocean hinders that a bit. We don't see a whole lot of European material over here, either. At least I don't, aside from a few trades I've done with European members (whereof I know the costs!)

An amazing collection of assorted curiosities. I especially love the marine reptile material. To have an entire room like yours is a goal of mine.

I got some nice x-mas fossils :D

And then there are these 2 replica's which I recieved for supporting the kickstarter from Triassica. 
It's a Compsognathus skull & hand replica.

Merry Christmas Ziggy  very nice gifts indeed . I do like the replica skull a nice display piece.

Merry Christmas to you too! :) 
Yes the skull is lovely indeed, quite the contrast in size opposite to the Spinosaurus skull :D 
Daniel from Triassica did an outstanding job an this skull, it's very detailed and the teeth are razor sharp :)
