-Andy- Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks to several members here who helped me to fill in several missing pieces, I have completed my ammonite and egg shell set boxes. (Base egg shell set was gotten off Indiana 9, I added two more species in) Enjoy! Gonna start on my amber collection next. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

Kosmoceras Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Very nice display, but your Yorkshire ammonite is not Hildoceras, it is Dactylioceras. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Very nice display, but your Yorkshire ammonite is not Hildoceras, it is Dactylioceras. Regards, Thanks for the info! Shall re-label it.

jualhadun87 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Those really look great, I love the way the labels turned out. Are those glue dots on the corners of the labels for the Ammonite display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Plai Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Great collections and congrats in completing them! I have my ammonites collection too but just couldn't quite put them in riker boxes especially the iridescent ones like the Caloceras & Cleoniceras u have. They just look so much better when on display stands with halogen light shining on them at the right angle! Though it takes a heck of a lot of space in my cabinet to put these babies in for sure. So as space ran out, I will probably have to find good boxes or alternative means to display them eventually!

-Andy- Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Happiness is a full, well-organized Riker Well done! Thank you Auspex! The best thing is that I can now let my younger cousins and nephews/nieces handle these fossils without worrying so much. Those really look great, I love the way the labels turned out. Are those glue dots on the corners of the labels for the Ammonite display? Thanks. The blue dots are blue-tac, which is a form of sticky dough that can be removed or re-used if I decide to change the labels. Great collections and congrats in completing them!

So as space ran out, I will probably have to find good boxes or alternative means to display them eventually! Amusingly, that IS the problem I am facing: a lack of space! I agree, the Caloceras and Cleoniceras would look better outside being shined at a certain angle, but I can't afford the space! Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

jualhadun87 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 After seeing your displays, I am thinking of using riker mounts to display some of my collection. What size are those boxes and do you buy them locally or online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 After seeing your displays, I am thinking of using riker mounts to display some of my collection. What size are those boxes and do you buy them locally or online? Hi there. I recommend using riker boxes too. The ammonite set is housed in a box that's 16" x 8" and the eggshell set is in a box that's 8" x 6". A member here gave those 2 boxes to me, but you can buy them online. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!
