Cabinet of Real Fossils

 

 

 

 

 

Although I don’t collect real fossils, I have some … and keep most of them inside this metal cabinet. Fossils housed therein include fragmentary dinosaur, mammal, marine reptile, phytosaur, pelycosaur and other vertebrate bones and teeth, invertebebrates and plants.  The big bone chunks are from a giant  diplodocid sauropod dinosaur.

 

 

Fossils in these cabinets include brontothere teeth, prehistoric sharks teeth,  gastralia from a Daspletosaurus.  a couple armored fishes skulls, an ichthyosaur tooth and some articulated mosasaur vertebrae.

The cabinet is also ideal for displaying model kits (on top), dinosaur stickers, dinosaur magnets and other items.
