I'm a newbie, 2.5 gal shrimp tank and 27 gal just planted with swords and crypts.

I have BUTT loads of fossils! I would like to put them out there and see what I can get for trade.

All are fully fossilized , Pleistocene and earlier. I have never tried them in a tank (though I plan to) o I can't say for sure how they affect parameters. Trade them for your tank, or just cuz they're cool!

Looking for: plants, wood, a few crs, or other shrimp.. You name it .

Extinct cetacean - small whale/ dolphin vertebrae

Hunk of rib from giant ground sloth

Pleistocene Horse toe, last two bones before the hoof

A hand full of what not from the big jar of odds and ends.. Mammal bones from 30 million years ago, a Dino bone or two, ammonites, etc.

Giant ground slot half tooth and small chunks of sloth teeth

Heaps of others

Im looking a a giant megladon tooth

lol - then expect to pay about $800+...

I wish I got some back in the day when they weren't so expensive.

 

[Krayz5183]

Well if they are that much then I got 3 for sale...didn't realize they went up that much

 

[driftwoodhunter]

The 5" & up hit that price pretty often...at least at the shows I get to go to. Might be a local thing?

You can find some nice Meg teeth for less but they still aren't cheap. I only have one at 6 inches and it isn't going anywhere

 

[driftwoodhunter]

oh, now you know you'll have to post a pic of it...lol Just to drive us nuts!

bump for fun thread!
did you ever add any to your tanks? did it change water chemestry??

 

[Chrisrn]

Hey! I chickened out of putting them into my current tank, but future tanks are in the works.
I still am offering fossils for swap..plants, shrimp, knowledge/ expertise..whatever helps me in this hobby.

More pics

Three toed horse tooth

My 6 inch Meg tooth, for show not swap

Hunk of 30 million year old rhino jaw

Oodles more!

Man you should have put them in your tank! I am envisioning a nice boneyard look with some glass catfish darting through the bones.

 

[Chrisrn]

Oooh nice idea !

 

[paronaram]

Chrisrn,
Pardon my ignorance, but why would I put this fossils in my fish tank?
It will look like algae covered drift wood in 2 weeks, or I’m missing something

Thanks

PS I like 6” Meg tooth!!! :icon_conf Setup a nice golden bracket and put it on the thick golden chain ! :hihi:

 

[hydrophyte]

Wow those are really cool specimens. Did you collect many of them yourself?

I would probably put those on the shelf, not in a fish tank.

Do you have any insect or plant fossils at all?

 

[Martin_G]

Looks like the rhino should've gone to see an orthodontist !

 

[Krayz5183]

I'm interested I the rhino jaw for sure!!

 

[Krayz5183]

Btw have any nice ammonities

 

[Krayz5183]

Also looking for amber with inclusions
