I just bought these for my tiny brachiopods and other small fossils. The batting inside has black velvet on one side and white on the other, so you can flip to whatever background you like. The boxes are plastic. The window is glass. They are about 1 inch (2.54 cm) square. Thought I'd share in case others have similar needs.

I know that I should be "marking" my fossils with ID numbers. But I've been reluctant to get started. And have been a little unsure how best to do it or what numbering system to use. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know this topic has come up a few times. (I'm posting links to similar topics in the past.) BUT to make this one a little different, I'd be interested in seeing images of your "markings." And maybe some encouragement for those of us reluctant to mark. This PDF is a good resource as a start. http://vertpaleo.org/PDFS/7f/7f3a76e9-e87c-4b0a-a893-8e9b53a6efec.pdf AND, some previous topics on record keeping and labeling. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/43017-record-keeping/?hl=labeling http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/11814-fossil-cataloging/?p=136551&hl=catalog&fromsearch=1#entry136551 http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/12566-logging-or-recording-your-finds/?hl=%2Bwriting+%2Bfossils+%2Brecords#entry143049 http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/38222-white-pen/?hl=labeling#entry420458
