Not my pictures as mine is stored after moving. Spencer microscopes, micro-tome in box. Perhaps 1930's? Not sure that it applies to fossils and not sure what kind is used for micro samples of hard fossils and seashells.

Hello folks, I've got some items that have been in a box in the back of my closet for quite some time and they are not identified, most a very small. They have been collected over many years at flea markets, yard sales, etc. I know everyone hates posts requesting IDs without any location information, so I'll keep my fingers crossed it's not a busy day... Since my eyesight is not what it used to be, I'm hoping someone here can put a name on them. I have a total of five posts (small lots or two items) needing identification, this is the first.

Dear Forum members, I am looking for gemboxes to display my Squalicorax collection in (1 tooth per box). The problem is that sites like this one: https://www.bodemschat.nl/nl/edelsteendoos-58-x-38-x-17-mm-zwart.html only have the foam with velor on top in the colours white and black. however, I want grey/gray ones. Does anyone here know where these are sold? Thank you very much in advance, Kind regards, Sander

Had this for about 10-15 years and can't seem to nail a positive ID on my own. Saw one similar to this in the group recently but can't relocate it. Does anyone know what it is?

I'm looking at getting some riker type boxes to display some of my smaller fossils. I've looked for the riker boxes online but shipping to England is expensive. As i've never had one before would this alternative do the trick? If not would love if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks Liam

I'm trying to identify the polished fossil material in this Georgian English snuffbox, circa 1760 to 1820. Is it mammoth ivory? Walrus? Wood? Something else? The material is set in unhallmarked sterling silver. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Adam

Does anyone know of a good and affordable place to acquire some boxes (like jewelry boxes) that are made out of acid-free materials? I really need to start moving some of my finds out of plastic bags, as I feel that I don’t really know what I have actually collected, given that they are not visible.

Afternoon folks Well finally moved into the new house with a brick shed/garage (aka my new workshop) yay! What I need to do is soundproof the compressor so to reduce the noise levels a bit as it will be in there with me, no real option to move it outside etc. I have been looking at numerous options and I need some advise on what is best, I have a load of mdf from an old wardrobe and was thinking of boxing it in with this then adding thick foam boarding to help reduce the noise. I know I need to look at ventilation etc in boxing it in. Or the other option I was looking at was making

Anyone know of an Aussie supplier of Riker mounts? I'm looking at getting some overseas but the shipping is killing me.

I took my dad out to collect some carboniferous fern fossils from a coal mine tailings heap. He wants to combine the fossils with his woodworking, perhaps making pendents or embedding them into recesses in boxes as decorative embellishments. Some of the fern fossils are slightly darker than the matrix they're in, but for the most part they're not as visible as we would like. Is there any straightforward way to stain or treat the specimen such that the fossil portion stands out better visually from the matrix? Ideally, some sort of stain that would have a greater effect on the fossil portion t

Hello everybody, I thought I would show everyone my various attempts to put fossils inside things. I dont know why I like making these sorts of things, but I do. The first picture is of one of the first things I ever made out of wood.This was when I was about 12, before my mom let me use power tools. So it is all made of 1/4" plywood and cut with a handsaw. It is really gap happy and ugly now that i look at it, but it does have a glass window and a piano hinge to hold the lid open. It is empty right now, and i might remake one like it now that I know how to do more sophisticated joinery. t
