Miocene_Mason Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I could be doing other things, but it’s the first weekday off school, and I wanted to do something Fossil related. So, I took some of the my favorite self-collected brownies teeth and put them into a riker. The riker originally held a composite Carcharodontosaurus, which meant a lot of empty space, so I moved it into storage until I can get a better case for it. So what do you guys think? key: Top row-Hemis, including a patho, a white one, and a lighting struck one middle group: Cows, all Bluntnose sevengill (Notorynchus Primigenus/cepedianus) , including my symphyseal. bottom left: Carcharodon hastilis teeth bottome right: Fragalodons last picture is one inch scale. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah, neat display Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q.

I have done something similar with my teeth this weekend! Thanks! I’m thinking of doing similar things with other sorts of fossils, especially Shark vertebrae, cetecean caudal verts, and the more common Miocene teeth. Once those are done, I’ll move on to the Paleocene stuff. I wonder how much the cases cost? I’ve only had them come with things. Anyway, I keep an eye out for yours! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will DM you a few places you can buy them including one place I saw today being advertised on facebook however it's probably better to search around more as there will be other cheaper places to buy them for sure!

Jaimin013 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I find these rikers can really help to save space. My failed attempt below at organising my collection a little. It's still a work in progress as my collection expands but they are really useful. I literally spent a good few hours throwing away boxes today.

Troodon Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Very nice my favorites are the Notorynchus teeth. I use rikers for all my dino and shark teeth, they are great and the different thickness accomodate megs or cow shark teeth. Not cheap Two suppliers http://indianriverdisplay.com/black.htm http://www.chdisplay.com/rikermountswithwhitepolyfill.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how they start popping up once you get an eye for them. I agree, they seem to be the gold standard for presentation and organization. They aren’t very cheap, but they seem necessary so I might get a few every now and then.
