Darktooth Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi everyone! In November I will be doing a presentation for my local club on sharks. The title will be "Sharks: The Living Fossil ". I would like to get my hands on a shark jaw to use for the presentation for a visual aid. I could either do a trade or purchase. Or if there is a kind soul out there who may possibly be willing to loan one to me? I would highly appreciate any and all offers. Thanks in advance Darktooth Dave I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

caldigger Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 You in a bathing suit, a sharp knife, a swim in shark infested water and a sirloin hanging from your neck. Shouldn't be too long before you get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I wanted to give a Thank-you to @Woopaul5 for sending me a very nice Mako shark jaw! This very generous member offered it for nothing in return, but I insist that he gets something for the kind gesture so something will be sent his way soon. Thanks again for fullfilling my request. Dave Also I want to say Thanks to @Coco For also offering, I may contact you sometime in the future. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, you missed your window! All offers are off the table now. That jaw full of stiletto blades is not something you want taking a friendly nibble on your leg with. Yeouch!

Darktooth Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 I am all ready for my presentation tomorrow and here is all my props. I don't claim to be an expert. I will be speaking as a Shark Enthusiast. My goal is to provide interesting shark facts to my club and maybe get club members as interested in sharks as I am. Wish me luck!

Just remember that you are the subject matter expert in the room, and that these people are genuinely interested and enthusiastic about what you have to tell them. I do this almost every day, and it is a little like acting (or being possessed!). By the end of it, you'll wonder why you had any jitters at all. Don't go in too scripted, and remember to talk TO them (like a conversation) and not AT them!

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Good luck, Dave! I'm sure you'll do an excellent job and your enthusiasm will infect at least some of your audience and encourage them to become more interested in these wonderful creatures. Life's Good!

Max-fossils Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wow, that's some crazy fossil-shark-mania! I suggest you send a case or two to me so that I can inspect them closely before your talk Good luck Dave, I'm sure you'll get them all completely hooked!

JohnBrewer Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Dave, you’ll be fine. You know much more than your audience as has said. I used to be terrified of this type of thing but do it regularly in my field of work including TV appearances. Don’t talk too fast, don’t read notes line for line (prompts cards are good tho) and give eye contact to everyone. It’s a blast and you’ll love it. Let us us know how much you enjoyed it and we wanna see photos taken by your audience! John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
