How do you display your fossils?

So I was wondering what's the best position to display all my fossils so before I buy the equipment to display my fossils I just wanted to see your designs at displaying them

I just use book cases, but you can also use shelves and/or display cabinets. These would be the cheapest ways in my opinoin. And you can even build book cases without much experience in carpentry (this would save a lot of money).

My displays are usually a complete mess, but here are two of the shelves that I managed to clean up. Shelves with stands is a good way to go. Riker cases are also very good for displaying materials.

 Really depends on what fossils you have and what you want to do with them?  I hang fish onto walls and put other fossils into glass display cabinets and even some just sittin on my office desk.

I did some research on this the last few weeks. I really liked the Riker Cases and they are reasonably priced. My sharkteeth will be stored in them. I plan to lay them out on a dresser or store them in some sort of file cabinet.

All depends on the environment your in eg: kids, dogs, cats, traffic and the types of fossils you are trying to diaplay.  That will drive :  Display cases versus shelves or open cabinets or something else.

 

Rikers are great for displaying small shark and dinosaur teeth. They come in different sizes and thickness.  They are also a good way to protect them.   Fossils on plastic stands work and are nice but are more prone to the hazzards of life and can get damaged.  I use everything but its all in a very protected space.
