Masp Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Curious to see how others accompany a neat collection. Meaning anything from replicas, figures, pictures, charts, graphs, maps, neat unique stands, labels, library, pictures displayed of impressive specimens you’ve encountered/found from your fossil hunting trips, etc. Here are a few of mine.

Masp Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have this KT Boundary vile here for my Upper Cretaceous display (either from South or North Dakota). I find that visuals are the most effective. The problem is having space for everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have a gnome who keeps an eye on things for me. And an ammonite clock which I made a few years ago to keep track of the time I waste in my prep room. 6 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Bobby Rico Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 A few of mine that are part of my natural history collection. 1.Blister pearl in a clam shell from Norfolk coast, UK. 2. This was given to me by Mrs R and it was given to her by a friend who's mother was an archaeologist in the 1970s . Sadly the location of this find of a beautiful spearhead has been lost . I think it is amazing and almost looks like a replica until you zoom into the base of the spearhead and with a loupe you can see fossilised glue and fibres. The glue I think was probably made by boiling tree sap or bark and when it has cooled down chewed to make it flexible. Some vintage prehistoric toy that I painted and made into dioramas. I think they look quite good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyw Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Here’s a few of my replicas and stuff. I’m in the middle of reorganizing my shelf’s so they aren’t as neat as usual and the labels aren’t in place but it gives you an idea... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
