I put them in "gem mounts"--soft enough foam to not break them, but sturdy enough to hold them in place. These are the tiniest of my teeth that I dared to mount in these--the larger ones are in a large riker mount and the even smaller ones are in 1/2 dram vials.

Nice teeth and display! I think I might just get some of those mounts too. Great idea. I've been using the small magnifier boxes and will probably keep doing that for the very tiny teeth that are tough to see without some sort of magnification, but I need something for teeth the next size up.

Nice teeth. I guess I'm gonna have to make a trip there (when the heat goes down). Is this site in Denton County?

It's a couple of hours or so south of you on the Brazos River on the borders of Brazos and Burleson counties. A well known site with lots of fossils. See HERE and scroll down to the bottom of the page for a bunch of info. The teeth are Eocene.

Google, or search Ebay, for "gem jar". They come in a couple sizes, with white, black, or no foam.
