Nice set up! I may need something like that soon as my unsteady hands mean that the light has to be very bright in order not to get a blurry mess.

R2D, at 72 years old, it's nearly impossible for me to get a decent hand held pic. I started assembling this setup out of necessity. Still learning my new camera, but pics will be coming soon.

New addition. Mylocheilus Robustus. Partial jaw with teeth from an ancient fish which was related to the modern carp. Pliocene era. Oreana, Idaho.  |

I'll add that the fish jaw needs more cleaning. After it warms up and dries around here, (we had blizzard conditions yesterday), I'll break out my little soda blaster and remove more matrix around the teeth and jaw bone.
It should clean up real nice, and the soda blasting should put a little shine on everything.

Pickins have been pretty slim on ebay lately, but I just had to bring this one back home to South Dakota. The tooth has been beautifully prepped.  |

Fossil insects.  Fly on left. Flea on right.  Oops, forgot I had this one. Both eyes are complete on this trilobite, and the rear portion of the body is folded under.  |

I don't normally trust fossils from Morocco, but this came from a trusted seller.  |

I haven't done very much with fossils lately, but did manage to win a couple the other day.   |

Finally, a new fossil insect. Hard to see, but at the top is a little Fungus Gnat.  |
