Tiny Fossil Storage


Peat Burns

Recommended Posts

I just bought these for my tiny brachiopods and other small fossils. The batting inside has black velvet on one side and white on the other, so you can flip to whatever background you like.  The boxes are plastic. The window is glass.  They are about 1 inch (2.54 cm) square.  Thought I'd share in case others have similar needs.

Now if you can just tell me what these lower Devonian Ross Fm. brachs are :).  I thought Isorthis pygmaea, but I'm not convinced...

Hmmm. 

Does look like it on the left, but less sure about the brachial valve on the right, which looks more like Discomyorthis.

But the pedicle valve is also like Coelospira but with not enough ribs. 

I don't know. :headscratch:

I'll check into these. Thanks, Adam.

I bought some cases very similar to these years ago. They were black but otherwise the same. I never saw them for sale again. Interesting. Gonna have to check them out on the big A.

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt
