MB Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Salut Alopias, Nice Calappa and Portunus As you must know already the Pignan fauna are under study, a previous paper and poster was presented on the 3rd Symposium Decapod Crustaceans Milano 2007, so take care with those fossils, beeing undescribeds still, they dont need the commercial preparation but very carefull touch. PM will be welcome Thanks for the pics http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Here is my home museum. I finished the basement and put in the display case which is permanent. I build my own collection cabinets. For the person that mentioned cats. I have six cats and they leave the fossils alone. Obviously, most of the collection is in the cabinets but the display case does not have a glass door and I still don't have a problem. I have to admit that I do not leave small fossils lying around. However, while on vacation one of the cats got the cover of my microscope off and took the rubber eye pieces. To this day, I have yet to find one of them. Fortunately replacements are not very expensive. Great !!! when some pics inside the drawers? http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 This one is a "work in progress", and I apologize for the poor photo (the shop is too crowded to get a good angle on the case). My reason for posting it is to illustrate what I'm trying to do with my bird fossils. Ultimately, they will be labeled, and interpreted in a way that (I hope) will kindle a sense of wonder about birds (and the natural world). The case (locking) is strategically placed next to our "young naturalist" section, since kids love fossils. Even in its unfinished state, interest has been high. Most people are amazed to learn that some birds had teeth, and the larger feathers get a lot of attention too. (Yes, the case is from Ikea).

Auspex Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Anyone who grew up on a farm knows that some ducks and geese have teeth Here's a couple from a Cretaceous barnyard: They are Avisaurus, from Hell Creek. The larger one is 1/4" long.

Kyleontheweb Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 First of all, I've seen some awesome stuff in this thread, great idea! I can't keep up with most of these guys, but I will show you where my fossils and minerals etc. are currently displayed on a couple of shelves. My collection here includes trilobites, ammonites, brachiopods, corals, cephalopods, a wooly mammoth tooth, sea urchins, crabs, various mineral specimens (including barite, pyrite, a gold nugget, a large amethyst cluster, a large piece of galena, others), a fossilized leaf, a whale vertebra, and a piece of a nickel-iron meteorite among several other odds and ends. Yes, that is a real bat. It was my wedding present! Oh, and the mammoth tooth was my gift for our 5-year anniversary not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyleontheweb Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 thanks a lot by the photos, do you know Batman? LOL :-} I always wanted to have a pet bat, but since it's illegal to take any kind of bat from the wild and hold it in captivity, I guess having a dead one is the next best thing.

Auspex Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The shop's bird fossil display is shaping up. I just bought an Archaeopteryx replica as a back drop, and it is an eyecatcher!
