Ramo Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I just finished a new display of self collected Kansas predators. I was inspired my fellow member Terrance Skinners similar display. I love it. 15 For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 This started as a cheap picture frame my wife picked up at a 2nd hand store. I bought some 1" foam at Hobby lobby, and added a plywood back. The hardest part ( not counting collecting the fossils) was getting all the drawings together. I ended up looking at several on- line, and then drawing them on typing paper. I used my imagination and colored them with colored pencils. I then cut them out, and glued the drawings and labels on posterboard cut to size. When I show someone a fossil, it's now easy to show them what the animal looked like. Kind of like "putting a face to the name". 4 For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 A wonderfully creative display. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 One of my favorite display boxes involving Cretaceous predators. I love that you drew those pics yourself. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Darktooth Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 A fantastic display! The pictures are a nice touch that enhance the display and brings it to another level of awesome! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
