Shamalama Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing your collection. Do you have the opportunity to collect "local" fossils near you? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Owens Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Not a "nice" collection. How about a FANTASTIC one! Thanks for posting! One thing though, please show size in inches as well as meters. Where do you live? I'll say one thing, to amass those type fossils you have to have some "DEEP POCKETS"! All B.S. Aside, yours is one of the best collections I have seen in awhile. Keep 'em coming, this group LOVES pictures! Mike P.S.: Welcome to the fourm!

Yeah love the ammonites, I basically go for the bigger items now. I have a bit of a suplus of fossils so I might trade some to make some room. I will be looking at getting some more ammonties and maybe a crab if I can save enough $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
