It is amazing to see how your collecting tastes changed during all these years but water and air are clearly favoured over land.
Some groups of creatures are very interesting. I like the way you mix brands and PNSO is giving a special touch to it.
I tried to read your topic aloud but when I finished it, we were already in the Paranoic era.

Wow is all I can say. As usual your collection impresses!

Beautyful collection, and enlightening too

For instance your topic gives me a better idea of the plesiosaurs , which has always confused me

Hi Roger, you’re right in how I’ve always favored ocean life. When I first started here at STS, I was most active in collecting modern coral reef animals. I still do on occasion (I jumped on some of the new Yowie), but that part of my collection is for the most where I want it to be. These days, I’m trying to tie up loose ends on my prehistoric collection and casually collect fresh water fish and cervids. PNSO is a great brand and I’m glad they came up on my radar.

General rule of thumb: the plesiosaurs have long necks.

I remember a few college classes that blew my mind when they covered these eras and the variety of animal life available. Prehistorics usually get eclipsed by the great dinosaur (great in it's own right), but I enjoyed the lessons about these weird and unique animals best.

Fabulous collection, with many figures I have never seen before. You have tracked down some real gems, especially your marine reptiles and invertebrates. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic collection! The icthyosaurs are my favorites!

Very nice collection QuollMate. Thanks for sharing :)
