Fossil Claw Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have some fossil elk vertebrae and I would like to display them upright. Any suggestions for stands that can hold these in a stable way? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Are they articulated or all separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I would string them together and wear them as a necklace, you would be the talk of the town at the Elk’s Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 You could make a frame out plywood that holds the verts in an articulated pose. You could cut out cardboard to prototype the shape to get it just right. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about placing them in a sunburst pattern similar to points of a clock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Here is a link to my old post. The display type employed for the chevrons might meet your needs. Good luck, have fun.
