palochris68 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hello ! I present you my very small collection. I started it last summer, so I do not have many pieces yet, but I prefer pretty pieces. I do not have the chance to search on the field, so I buy my fossils. We have: Keichousaurus Hui, I really like his broken tail Russian trilobite, Asaphus punctatus (I have not been able to label it yet). Restoration verified with violet lamp, less than 10% Spinosaurus tooth, correct quality, only glued but with pieces of the same tooth Last Acquisition: caudal vertebra spinosaurus I am going to buy other teeth of theropauds (carcharodontosaurs) in the next few months and I am mainly interested in dinosaurs fossils. See you soon ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It may be a small collection but I think you are off to a good start! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 You've only got 4 items but already they're all things I don't have in my collection... I guess that's a good thing about collecting fossils, otherwise everyone's collection would be the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimin013 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks for sharing, I love the way trilobites look! Keichousaurus is cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palochris68 Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Hello ! I hadn't shown my collection for a very long time. Now it's even richer, with a few new pieces! A carcharodontosaurus tooth : In particular, I was able to acquire this Psittacosaurus skull. Admittedly, I know it's of rather poor quality, with some badly done restorations, but I can't afford to buy a top-quality skull. An oviraptor sp egg (maybe someone can define the species?) : And here's a big Spinosaurus vertebra! According to your opinions on this very forum (in another topic) it seems to be rather correct, nothing proves that the different elements come from the same specimen, but it seems to be one of the least bad in any case! Finally, my latest acquisitions this year: A Machairodus tooth, but no one has yet given me a detailed opinion on its quality?

palochris68 Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 And here's a frog, Callobatrachus sanaynensis! as I'm not an expert and I mostly have a contact who supplies me with fossils that I feel I can trust, I'm always very concerned about the quality of my fossils, so if you have any comments on them, please don't hesitate to contact me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybot Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 That frog is really neat! Probably my favorite fossil out of your collection, but that's just me -Jay “The earth doesn't need new continents, but new men.” ― Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.cheese Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I have never seen a frog fossil before! I like that very very much, possibly even jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palochris68 Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 ah yes? I saw several at the fossil fair in Ste Marie aux Mines a few days ago (the largest in the world along with Tucson and Munich). For this fossil in particular, the person who sold it to me had two 'sides', the negative and the positive. I chose the positive because you can clearly see the traces of skin!
