Let's see how you display/store your micro/tiny fossils!
Jaybot posted a topic in Member Collections
As the title states, I'd love to see how TFF community displays or stores their micro/pretty small fossils. I'm trying to get ideas how to display mine, so I thought I'd start this thread- I'm sure I'm not the only one that will enjoy the fresh ideas. Happy posting -
Is there anyone else on here who collects large shark vertebra? I am mainly interested in the ones from the USA. Although I have a bunch of ones from Morocco and all of them, or at least, most of them are over 4 inches.

I love Fossil Hunting, but I also love Goodwill Hunting. I usually stop in the various Goodwill stores that I see and look around for plastic cases that I could use for fossils, but I also look to see if I can find some other things that I could use for fossils- Today was one of those days. After picking up a couple of plastic cases, I was walking towards the door and noticed something in their locked case. Upon further inspection it was a Bosch & Lomb Stereoscope. I took a look at it and I could not see anything through the optics and I put it back. Before driving away I decided to go back in and use the light on my I Phone to illuminate that stage. I placed a dime on the microscope stage, which can be flipped to white or black, and placed the light so it illuminated the dime and the view through the optics was amazing. The dial that is on top of the microscope is used to zoom in on the object and it works great and every tiny scratch on the dime can be zoomed in. I decided to buy this stereoscope for the price of $19.99, now I have 2 stereoscope’s and I can use my fiber optic lighting for this new scope.
