Too Many Fossils

[jnicholes]

Hello,

 

So, I'm going to get straight to the point. I live in a small house, and I have way too many fossils right now.

 

My entire collection consists of 35 Diplomystus, 10 Knightia, 7 Phareodus, 2 Mioplosus, 36 pieces of petrified wood, 1 fossilized sand dollar, 2 gastropod shells, some fish bone fragments, and 38 other fossils that are unidentifiable.

 

I'm going to be up front right now, I have way too many fossils in my small house. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the excess.

 

Does anybody have any ideas what I could do with the excess?

 

Any help will be appreciated,

 

Jared

You can trade or sell them here in our dedicated subfora, or sell on the auction sites. Alternatively, you can donate them to schools or related youth programs. Along the donation line, you can always offer to volunteer them for our rolling auctions to support the forum.

Too many fossils? Is there such a thing?

seriously though Kane has the best idea unless you can come up with some creative display ideas like hanging on ceiling or something like that (wich the wife really frowns at)

I didn't know you could trade fossils here! I might try that.

another option is to donate them to your local museum or library or school!

Too many fossils...is there such a thing???

 

Do you have somewhere to store them?

A garage perhaps? And just display the better specimens. 

This is what I do.

 You know what? I do have a storage unit. I could put the not-so-good ones in the storage unit, and then display the best ones. Why didn't I think of that! Thank you so much for helping me out!

 

To be honest, I don't want to part with some of these. So many good memories in each one!

Gee thanks Yoda!

He had the semi-truck all packed up ready to head to my place and you have to go and suggest he actually store them. Jimeny wilakers!!!!

Maybe someone will send you something next time... possibly C.O.D, but it's the thought that count's.. right?..

@caldigger Pardon my saying, but Its hard to tell whats a joke and what is not.

 

If you really want some of my fossils, I can mail you some. I can spare a few.

Hang your fish on the wall:

Get a cabinet if you don’t already have one. If you trim down those fish slabs they’ll fit in a couple of drawers.
