Jive Turkey -stonepony -Jive Turkey -stonepony -mmavixen -Jive Turkey -mmavixen - I don't know... T-rex is obviously more famous, and the fossil is a more impressive status-symbol piece for a collection. But... http://tinyurl.com/cerw7yw Spinosaurus was a lot more scary. T-rex was most likely a scavenger, and spinosaurus was much more of a predator (and would make short work of a t-rex/allosaurus). |

I know they were a bigger animal, I just meant aesthetically, the t-rex teeth are more appealing. A nice sized, serrated tooth is more impressive than a conical one. Plus, there always seems to be a lot of restoration work done to the Spinosaurus teeth. The shape also suggests it ate fish, which isn't so bad ass ;) |

But you know, something like a trilobite collection would be cool too. The variety, and some of them are just so interesting looking. They're also pretty inexpensive. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOP-CLASS-DICRANURUS-FOSSIL-TRILOBITE-GREAT-SPECIMEN-PERFECT-PREPARATION-/110979480441?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d6e47b79 Look at that f'n thing. Amazing. |

If he has that drawing, he should have the Gomi sketch too. |

stonepony - That is probably a legit smilodon skull, not a cast or a replica. $200k, easy. Lol, smilodon was nothing special. 2:45 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY-GMPO6kmE&feature=relmfu |

My trilobite isn't nearly as intricate as the one you linked to, but the detail is amazing. You're able to make out all the little individual lenses in the eye. It still blows my mind when I look at it. You should start a collection; you seem really interested |

Yeah, meteorites/fossils are both fascinating IMO. I found a spear-head when I was a kid, was big and white/orange and semi transparent. Lost it. I know if I bought a trilobite I'd probably try to continue extracting it from the matrix. Dental tools and a dremil or something, until I broke it. |

stonepony -When I was about 12-13 years old I found a megaladon tooth in the beach in Venice, Florida.mmavixen -Jive Turkey -mmavixen - I was so excited. Took it back to where we were staying, wrapped it up in paper towels, packed it up and when we got back home I unwrapped it to find it somehow was snapped in half in the luggage while traveling back to OH. I was super bummed out.

The chimp holding revolver art totally epiphanize the UFC: mad ape Dana White holding a gun to the fighters head once they sign the UFC contract. Totally make sense |

mmavixen -Well it is very much appreciated :)Ryan Black - Thank you. You are awesome mmavixen! :) And, you most certainly ARE awesome... one of the coolest people here. Your positivity is refreshing. I'd love to own those Bible Gun pieces- the more I look at the pictures. It's definitely on the list, lol. I just find it very powerful art. And I would also really like to hear how DFW feels about those pieces, specifically. Awesome stuff...
