RJB Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I went onto Ebay to try and find some 'moon stands'. For the life of me and cant remember what they are called but there is a kind of fossil stand that is shaped kinda like a moon shape where you can put in an ammonite and screw the bottom and top to hold it? Im not sure if im making any sence? Anyone know what the heck im talking about. Here is a picture that ive drawn to give you an idea. Not the best drawing, but I drew a little ammonite in the middle that is being held in this stand thingy. Thanks RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I have seen that type of stand before. But I have no idea where or what they are called. So I can't help you, sorry. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Look up a barryaclarke on our favorite auction site. He's got a good selection of these stands and various others. 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!

HamptonsDoc Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Do you think one of these could hold a 12 pound meteorite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Claw Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The proper size could. I would call and ask. I have seen caliper stands that could hold 12 lbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 I had no idea there were so many different sizes of these things. I did order two of the smaller ones but I can find any black colored ones. They are all brass, gold plate or chrome. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I didn't even know these things existed. I feel a welding/forge project in my near future. I now have to try to build one...
