Chlamyphorus truncatus, the pink fairy armadillo.

Oh that’s a nice creature , not sure where we use it as an emoji. Because it Is nicely made I going say it is the pink fairy of great buys emoji  .

Seeing @Bobby Rico shark teeth motivated me to show mine 

I don’t have many. Just a few of the common types.

The specimens came from the seller in those plastic boxes. 

But you can buy them online. They come in various sizes and dimensions

Doesn't the sauce make the fossils messy?

Thats is a great idea. I am going to get some too. The only thing I would be careful with is making sure that your fossils are 100% dry especially any with pyrite . 
 

thanks Bobby

If one can say something positive about Covid......

 

I work with a vulnerable person. During the year or so that we had access to home tests, I was testing myself on a daily basis. 

Each test kit came with a small sachet of silica gel. I accumulated quite a few of these, which I use to dry the odd fossil that I have cleaned etc.

Hay Yoda I was wondering do you have any more shark teeth? Sorry I did not ask you if you was taking any requests.

I have posted a few others - see page 2 & 4. 

 

I have one or two other shark teeth, but not that many more. 

I will try and photograph them soon and upload them 

[Yoda]

I found this photo of my Otodus on my phone 

 

@Bobby Rico I also have a few micro teeth 

[Yoda]

I have one or two Belemnites in my collection. But not too many 

I find they tend to be a bit samey 

 

But the location of this one caught my eye. Haven’t seen much Swedish material on offer

Postman arrived quite early this morning.

Your a Amber gambler then.  

I like the packing are they boxes or can see both sides? Cool stuff 

[Yoda]

@Bobby Rico

Yes, you can see through both sides

I ordered some of these amber insects from the same dealer who sent them in the same type of box, and after a little while the plastic started to cloud up around the spots in contact with the amber. I don't know what kind of chemical reaction that was, but... fair warning!  Rather disappointing, as I thought it was a nice way to display them too. I ended up putting all my amber bits in small ziplocs. The display box makes a neat little drum, it's very resonant when you trap it with your fingers
