Just For Fun, How I Decorate My Fossil Room (My Home Office)

[trilobiteruss]

Just got done mounting up new trilobite photos to replace all the dinosaur posters I traded off with my dinosaur collection (for more trilobites for my collection -- hence photos of cool bugs). Was sharing with someone else and thought I would share how my room decorating is going where my collection resides... for your enjoyment...

You traded your dinosaur collection for "bugs" ???

Just kidding! :laughing on the floor 24:

I have a "fossil room" but you have a "fossil museum"

Congrats and thanks for sharing and making many of

envious

I recognize some of the fossils!

Yep all my dinosaur eggs, bones and models and posters went to the bugs.. I am pretty much done collecting them and going out west to dig (cannot afford to dig and am tired of dino politics with greed on both sides -professional and non). bugs are safer -- they only crawl

You probably do recognize a few there!

Unbelievable room!

My wife fully supports my fossil addiction, but I don't believe to that extent. But, a man can always dream, can't he?

It is truly amazing.

well it is in that room only not allowed in other parts of the house

She does think I am a bit too crazy for fossils though

Now thats a fossil room!

I agree with you as far as dino politics go. I myself am also not into dino's (they're vastly over-studied!)

Well I did this for 20 years outside of my main geology work at the Illinois Geological Survey. I was really into the dinos but ... the spirit of cope and marsh is still alive in dinosaur science today, same snarge!

Crinoids and trilobites are safer less prone to all this stuff

Now that looks like a real Man Cave..

One of these days, I might have a 10th if that..

Awesome!!!

I want to get something like that one of these days, nice place Russ.

I got a poster and a desk.

In picture 4 I noticed a "Teddy bear" on top of the display case.

I'm sure there's a story here on why your fossil "man cave" includes

a cute little fuzzy "Watch Bear" overseeing your collections.

Sometimes I crack myself up :laughing on the floor 24:

[trilobiteruss]

Yep Barry there is story there. My wife gave it to me. Good observation!!

I was married once...

Maybe I should have put a couple of gifts on display

[trilobiteruss]

Maybe. That would have been good. :-)

Very nice room you have there! I always enjoy seeing how others have decorated their own fossil caves.

[CousinLarry]

Holy snarge that's awesome!

If you need to get rid of some of the dino stuff, you can send to me for safe keeping ;D
