I was bored during my last couple weeks of winter break, so I decided to start some projects and commissions for making nests. While doing so, it occurred to me that since many people tend to add rocks and gems to their setups, why couldn't I add fossils? This nest was the result of combining bits of pyrite, chunks of shale, some shark teeth, and an ammonite... along with a bit of creativity of course. I'd really like to make more fossil-themed nests soon, especially for my other colonies. Once this Formica colony hits around a thousand workers, I plan to create a huge nest and outworld featuring an actual Otodus megalodon tooth. Future projects will likely include trilobites, more shark teeth, and ammonites.

I nmy opinion the shark teeth are what bring it all together. Very nice.

Thanks! I plan to get even more creative with nest designs in the near future.

Thanks to you too. I think the shark teeth were really compatible with the style I was trying to go for. I might try using some of those polished grey teeth for a future nest to see how well it looks.
