I have been labelling some of my collection. Mrs R asked me why I don’t use our labelling machine, that’s an easy one I didn’t know we had one. It is works great for me with it clean and clear fonts and five font sizes,. The keyboard and super easy-to-use screen, it’s no wonder MrsR was hiding this bit of kit from me. The Dymo LetraTag is highest rated label maker on Market. The keyboard makes it easy to type what you want the label to say and you can see, at a glance, exactly how the font you’ve chosen will look. You can then change the size of the font, make it emboldened, italicise it, add one of 195 symbols, and more. The Labeller prints on paper, plastic, metallic and iron-on LetraTag LT labels and you can print up to two lines per label. The catch is that the labels are only available in 12mm . I been labelling on plastic boxes and test tubes . It is a great machine and quite cheep. I really like the look of the labels on the test tubes .

I have an extensive collection of minerals and fossils that I am only now finding time to organise and display. I found the minerals relatively easy to group and label including information such as locality, date of collection, chemical composition, name origin and mineral group such as oxide, phosphate etc. When it comes to the labelling of fossils I am finding it hard to find consensus. What information should I include? It is easy enough to group things biologically into groups such as ammonites, brachiopods, graptolites etc but what specifics should be included? I was toying with the idea of just putting the most detailed description as possible such as Hildoceras bifrons for species, an age range, some interesting fact and a location. Is this too simple? Can anyone give me an example of how they label thier fossils for presentation? Cheers, Cain
