Wow, this seems like it would be very large and very impressive. I see massive specimens of this species being sold for very expensive prices.

You're right. It has a diameter of 32cm. The largest one in my collection measures 46cm. across. I've also prepped ones for other folks getting up to almost 1 meter.

Had to get out my ruler to get a sense of how big that is and wow, those are massive sizes. Must be hard to even find space to display.

They're on the floor in the exhibition room.

 

 

And the one I've shown here was hoisted up on top of the drawer cabinets.

Love the display room Roger!
 

The wood cabinets look very functional and compliment the stone from the fossils well.  Their design and thin handles don’t distract from the fossils, but enhance their display.
 

I like how you made levels on your shelves in the glass cabinet to maximize space.

 

Your collection is also impressive. 

[Pleuromya]

I agree, it's a really impressive display room!

[rocket]

that´s a collection, wow, really impressive

thanks for showing, Roger!!!

One day I will post some pics of our rooms

Thanks, Frank. If you scroll down to near the bottom of this page, you can get a relatively actual view of the entire collection. You should come down to visit me someday. And yes, please do post some pics of your rooms.

[rocket]

so, lets go on with a small fossil 

rare middle jurassic (Bajocium) isopod Urda sp., tiny one, size of the nodule around 2 cm

 

iff you like to see more infos, look Steinkern.de - Die Fossilien-Community - Ein Isopode im Mittelbajocium von Velpe bei Osnabrück (Crustacea, Dogger, NW – Deutschland)

 

Edited September 25, 2022 by rocket
add some more infos about the age

oooooohhh!!! I think everything has been said... 
Thanks for sharing.

whoa whoa...I go away for a week or so and we jump from Paleocene to Jurassic /Cretaceous? Did I miss a memo? Has the geological timeline been condensed while I was gone? I wasn't gone THAT long I didn't think! hahahahh!!! Mostly kidding, y'all. But for reals...where are we in the timeline? 

 

Did we all just get sidetracked admiring @Ludwigias fossil museum?

 

So I think we are in the Pleistocene and I FINALY FOUND A CRAB from the Pleistocene!  Texas Coast

Yes ! there is a small temporary oversight,  we have gone from the Paleocene, to the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and your Pleistocene....

Well, as far as my research has told me, we were doing fine and on to Jeff's Paleocene Otodus obliquus contribution, but then @rocket must have gotten distracted by my collection and posted a Bajocian isopod, which in turn prompted @Kasia to post something from the Cretaceous and then you suddenly jumped into the Pleistocene from there. If we want to fill in the gaps now, then we need things from the Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene, so I'll start off with a Mioplosus labracoides from the Eocene Green River Formation in Wyoming which I recieved from Kris last year.

 

[JamieLynn]

@Ludwigia  Dang it, I screwed it up too!  I read PLIOCENE instead of Paleocene and thought we were further along in the timeline so I posted Pleistocene!! Yeesh.  Glad you are getting us back on track! Sorry to mess it up even MORE! hahahh

[fossilsonwheels]

Here’s a cool little Oligocene fossil. A Pristiophorus rostral tooth from the Old Church Formation in Virginia. I love Sawsharks !! 

[fossilsonwheels]

From the early Miocene, here are a couple of Squatina teeth from Jewett Sands Kern County California.
