Dracarys Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Hello Everyone! I am new to collecting over the past several weeks and have been able to obtain several fossils of recent and would like to show you all what I have collected. First one will be my Struthy Claw.

Dracarys Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi again! Day 2 posting. How about a pair of Hadrosaur's Eggs. Best one that the collector had ever seen. It can dual as prehistoric breasts implant as well. I have access to a CT scan and will see if there is a fetus inside soon. Wish me luck! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracarys Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Today will be a two-fer. An oreodont upper skull (these poor guys were the prey to everybody!) and a cool ankylosaur scute. I am trying to get a larger scute but need to convince my guy to part w it. Hope you all enjoy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracarys Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 My showpiece of my collection is a juvenile trike skull. Approx 3 1/2 feet in length. The stand is being built and so I will be receiving this at the end of the month. So excited about this piece. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Very impressive for a novice collector. It's nice for you that you have the good fortune to be able to make such an investment so quickly. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Dracarys Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Thank you Lud. What is most fortunate is meeting a collector/digger near my house that has been collecting for 30 years and now thinning out his collection. I am able to choose the best of what he has collected over the many years. This has allowed me to obtain an immediate collection of fine pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
