Brevicollis Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hello, I wanted to show you my collection and wanted to hear your opinion about it. If you have an idea what I could do better, say so. (Sorry if the photos aren't great) In it are: -3 Keichousaurus -7 Apateon pedestris -many fish fossils -many reptile teeth: (Carcharodontosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Spinosaurus, Suchomimus, Mosasaurus, Triceratops, Abelisaurid teeth, Rebbachisaurus (8.3 cm!), Elosuchus, unknown crocodile teeth from South America) -lots of shark teeth (Megalodon, Isurus, Otodus...) -some mammal teeth (mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, gomphoteria, bison, cave bear) -12 ammonites -Some plant fossils -Some reptile bones (Spinosaurus, crocodile scale) -Belemites - Trilobites 3 Are good signatures really that important ?

Ludwigia Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Thanks for sharing. Going by the labels, I would assume you're from Germany, right? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordWampa Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Very nice and varied collection, but i must say that I saw some things mislabeled. For example: This is a Otodus Obliquus vertebra from Oued Zem, Khouribga and not spinosaurus. But really nice and varied collection!!! I feel you belong to the group of collectors that like to have a little bit of everything instead of just collecting one type of fossil . If you have some pieces that you are not sure of the provenance or the species post them and we will be able to help you for sure!

Though it should be Otodus obliquus on the label as species names are never capitalized. And Spinosaurus if I want to get further pedantic. Sorry. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Just to be clear, the species name is never capitalized but the genus name always is, so it is Spinosaurus and Otodus. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
