Sharktoothguy11222 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 OK, so I got some new riker displays for my b-day, but, I procrastinate too much, and, I finally got around to moving my collection into them. I cleared out one of my dressers of old clothes, and the first two rows of the cabinet have fossils in them. - An overview. My lizard cage, with one of my Bearded Dragons(I have 2) His name is Rex. Isn't he nice lookin The first row the second row the other side of the dresser Before, I had my teeth in a lot of small rikers scattered about the top of my desk. Now, it looks much better Now, all I need are a few hundred megs, and then my dreams will come true(well, at least one of them ) Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham!

Sharktoothguy11222 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Here's my Bone Valley display case. I was wondering how any of the other members label their stuff. I put the ID tags in next to the fossils, but I have heard, that some people use India Ink, to write on the fossils. I guess, in a summary, how do you keep track of your vast collection. Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharktoothguy11222 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 I bought mine from Potomac Display. Here is the link to their riker displays. http://www.potomacdisplay.com/pd_catalog.c...t=on&tt=861 They are fairly expensive, but these are the cheapest ones i could fine shopping around. They offer great deals on the rikers, when you buy various sizes. The only that really hurts, is the shipping. It cost me over $35 to ship 2 big boxes via UPS for only a few hundred miles.

Auspex Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Great way to organize, protect, and display. Too bad they only come in black; I can think of a couple colors that would go better with all those Lee Creek teeth you're going to find in two years "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Only 692 days until I am old enough to get into LEE CREEK!!!! Yep, I do wish they cam in more colors. Then I might be able to color code the fossils accordingly to the display. Hmmmm, I see a new invention coming to light Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they only come in black; I can think of a couple colors that would go better with all those Lee Creek teeth you're going to find in two years I used to lay colored felt over the white floss to help things stand out more and look better overall. I'd have a piece big enough to hang over so it could be held down with the same pins that you ue to secure the boxes. Worked pretty well. RAWR! I am zeee dead bobcat!
