Owl_Roker Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Hello Everyone, Newbie here from the Emerald Isle. I finally pulled the trigger and purchased my first fossil—a Green River Diplomystus dentatus with Knightia eocaena. The seller is well-known and highly regarded on this forum so I’m not necessarily concerned with the authenticity, but I am really keen to hear people’s opinions on this specimen. My apologies if this is the wrong place to post. Thanks, Robert Edited June 11, 2020 by Owl_Roker Removed: The seller is well-known and highly regarded on this forum so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 That's a lovely plate with iconic fossils. I believe you will certainly enjoy displaying it. 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...

aplomado Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 That looks great! If you want to frame it to hang it, Nielsen metal frames work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
