Jurassicz1 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 So i got some display cabinets but i'm not sure how to display it. I have many bought fossils and found. I got shark teeth mostly, But also amber, Fish, Dino, Reptiles and more. So i wonder how you guys display your fossils? Maybe post some pictures? So i can get some inspiration.

Gareth_ Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I'll take some pics of what I have tonight and post them up (it's just after 1pm here) With the mirror and reflective glass, it helps if the room is dark to minimise reflections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carch_23 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I have found that rikers, shark teeth specific stands (especially nice for a large meg), acrylic riser stands, membrane cases and if you have access to a place to get your teeth molded onto a custom metal stand would be nice. And i have also found that good lighting plays a really big part of the display appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_ Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 This is mine, not a very large collection but it's easily displayed in just one cabinet (I removed the glass sliding doors for the pics to try remove some reflections). It's almost impossible to tell what is going on with the lighting from the pics.... the "roof" of the cabinet has a recessed section, I have 2 strips of colour changing LED lights up there, sp you can never directly see my lighting but mirrors and glass panels will always reflect. Photos honestly do not do this set up justice, you need to see it in the flesh to fully appreciate it. The cabinet is a "Queen Anne" style, not for everyone but I didn't want a modern look. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
