Northern Sharks Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 This weekend was my club's annual show and, while the focus was more on minerals, the were several dealers with fossils. Here's a sampling 1) A selection of Moroccan trilobites 2) Onnia superba trilobite, also from Morocco (This one I'm considering buying, any thoughts as to it's legitimacy) 3) There were lots of small Green River fish, but this Caturus furcatus from Germany was impressive. About 10-12 inches long 4) A huge Moroccan ammonite, Procheloniceras 5) For Auspex, a Green River feather 6) One of the neater mineral samples I saw: Mesolite from India 7) My award winning display of Great White and Giant White shark evolutuion. There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The trilo looks genuine, but the shark's teeth are way too good to be real!

Megaselachus13 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 That Caturus must to be cool, it seems a big one. The ammonite is a true sculpting job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice shark tooth display. I wish I could read the labels which go along with all those great looking teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Very nice shark tooth display. I wish I could read the labels which go along with all those great looking teeth. Thanks for the compliments. The labels are pretty basic: name, age, frequency for finding and any distinguishing characteristics basically. As there are not too many tooth collectors upi here, and I was limited with space, I just tried to keep it fairly simple.

As there are not too many tooth collectors upi here, and I was limited with space, I just tried to keep it fairly simple. I understand. I'm just always curious to hear about the various locations where shark teeth are found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
