Having recently rearranged the fossils I have displayed I thought it would be nice to share the view.

Most are either bought or received as present. There are also a few replicas here and there.

An overview of the display cabinet.

I will soon upload more detailed photos of the other shelves as this post has reached it's limit of pictures.

Wide-ranging interests!

That Phorusrhacos skull replica is pretty darn cool ;)

Bravo Sir! Your collection is wonderful and perfectly displayed. The trilobites are my favorites and the Swedish bugs are from a classic locality. Reminds me of a perfectly prone Kinnekulle Pliomera that I traded away to one of the largest species collections of trilobites in the world. At least it went to a good home! All of your fossils and associated replicas are of top quality.

Thanks for sharing them with us Lord Trilobite! :bow:
