<p>[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2621927, member: 72818"]Recently, I noticed a well-known eBay coin dealer branching off into fossils and I was immediately enthralled and started to browse what was available by other reputable sellers. I thought it might be fun to start a thread posting fossils or any other ancient 'collectibles' that the CT gang has managed to acquire. I've added quite a few 'teeth' and even bone fragments and samples of raptor eggshells. Probably the most interesting (and disgusting LOL) is a variety of coprolite 'specimens'----thankfully, the odor has long since dissipated<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, among the following posts will be examples of fossilized teeth of a T-Rex, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Megalodon (a HUGE shark that fed on the ancestors of whales) and a Mosasaurus!!!
