erik m Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hello, I did start a big project some time ago and now it is done. The project was to buy from a good fossil collectig frind a replyca jaw with Isurus Escheri teeth fond here in the Netherlands. It took him many years to collect all the teeth to get it complete. In time I wil give this jaw to a museum so it wil be there for all pepole to see it and also the name of the artist that did make it (Jaap Roos)it is a master piece. I wil post a few photo's and hope you all like it. Greetings Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
