Keeping track of tiny fossils has been difficult for me, but penny holders have been a real help.  I have begun using picture frames to hold and display my fossils in penny holders.  These frames are 5x7 inches.  The primary use I have made of the holders is for small pieces of shale each of which contains a conodont.

Very attractive, good idea!

Did you have to trim the frames down to fit that arrangement of capsules so well, or did they just happen to be the right size?

They just happened to be the right size and depth. The trays can be stacked without the capsules touching the tray above.
