    Riker Boxes in the UK

    Hallo I am looking to start transferring some of my fossils into Riker boxes. However, it appears they are hard to come by in the UK and the shipping from the US and EU is much too high. From what I can gather the principal source of Riker boxes in the UK is a website called "Just In Case" but this website appears to no longer exist as it doesn't show up when searched for and any direct links lead to a server timeout. Would any of you be able to recommend a UK site for Rikers?
  2. Does anyone know of a source for a small magnifying box/case where I can display small micro fossils? Thanks in advance.

    My finished prep box

    Finally able to upload the pics of the finished prep box! Shows the way it opens for loading, the LED light strips with power switch and pig-tail plug for my shopvac so it all comes on together. Also have a small mag lens for preps where I don't need the microscope level of zoom. Now I just have to finish redesigning the air supply. Also, I may have just won the lottery. Waiting to hear from the company for a shipping quote. --- Side note, the purchase price was $50.00! I think a mod edited the pic because it had a company name in the original screen grab.
  4. I am in the process of designing my new prepping blast box, and I decided to make a cardboard mockup. After the advise members gave in my last thread, I tore apart my work bench, and rebuilt it lower to accommodate a box. Since I am just about to pull the trigger on a boom microscope, I wanted to wait until I actually have it to make sure the working height, depth of field, etc are all going to work with the box before actually making it. I used @Malcolmt box design with a slight mod. The box is 24x20. I thought about making it larger, but I decided that was probably going to be overkill. Malcolms design calls for a 13" high box, but since I'm adding a microscope, I thought that might be too tall? The specs say the working height with a .5x barlow is 8 inches, so that is the height of this mockup. I spent a while trying to decide how I wanted it to open. I have seen top-open, front-open, and the entire box tilt up. My current thought was a half tilt hinge. My thinking was that if I have something flat and fragile, this lets me slide it in without possible obstructions, or dropping it as I try to put into the box. This design would also make cleanout a lot easier than something top-down. The vac port would be at the rear center, and I was thinking of drilling a hole (or 2) at the back, lower right side to pass the air scribe / air-abrasion handpieces in through. The 20 inch depth works well to leave room for both the vac hose as well for tilting the top up and back far enough that it should rest against the wall without fear of it falling. I dont know how big the microscope base will, or where the best positioning will be, so I'm not sure if I currently have enough room for it. Now, my unknowns and concerns. First, working space. Since it's 8 inches tall, that gives me just barely enough room for my CP9361 scribe on a very thin specimen. If the fossil is several inches tall, there is no way I could work on the top of it. This has me thinking of maybe leaving the bottom off the box, and having a booster-seat base that could go under it go adjust the height. My biggest concern there is one of stability without a solid base to the construction. Soooo, what am I missing? What am I overlooking or not considering? What are your thoughts on it in general?

    prep box build

    OK prep gurus, I come with a question. What is (or is there) a preferred height for the table top a blast-box sits on? My HF sandblasting cabinet has served me well for my micro abrasion preps, but the time has come that I need a single work station I can both scribe and blast in. I'm going to have to tear down my current work bench anyway to do this, and I think it is a little too high. So do you have a preference for the height?
  6. cant find my glasses to see whats in here.
  7. 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

    Micro-tomes

    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.

    Snails ID request

    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.
  10. 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

    Coral or stromatolite or?

    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?

    Display Boxes

    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
