There are from an old Welsh farmhouse. The dimensions are 85 cm tall by 50 cm wide by 62 cm. Drawers are circa 12 cm deep. Just got to fill them now. Those are BEAUTIFUL!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Finally got around to starting the new drawers. Probable iguanodon vert and associated spine. Lower Cretaceous, Isle of Wight, Yaverland. No idea why the photos keep altering their orientation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be the EXIF-data recorded with your JPeG-image. This data normally records such things as the camera settings using which the photograph was made, can include location data and may contain information on image rotation. In order to fix your issues with image rotation, the easiest way to do this would be to clear the EXIF-data, which can be done using various image editing tools, such as Lit Photo (for Android, but may also be available for iOS) or Irfan View (Windows). 1 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike from North Queensland Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The three sets of drawers blend well together and the same height. I like the idea of inserting in foam to hold the specimens. The foam protects from movement when opening and closing drawers. I have seen a similar idea used for museum materials but to tidy up and hide foam they cut a slit 10mm or so away from the fossil as per diagram attached. Unsure of exact material used but looked like the material used for disposable overalls used in the building industry or hospitals. ( usually white or blue) Here is an example from a museum with felt on the outer and the other material as mentioned above used to cradle the actual fossil 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got to make some wooden inserts first as the foam pieces are slightly too small and the bigger ones had too much wastage after cutting.

Welsh Wizard Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Doing a bit of work on the drawers. If anyone’s wondering, the labels are under the fossils. Kimmeridge to the left. Wealden to the right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Some U.K. Triassic stuff. I’ve managed to sort through some boxes and freed up space. I need to cut quite a few pieces down to a manageable size before they can go in the drawers. I’ve been waiting for the rain to stop to do them but there doesn’t seem to be any let up at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackito Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Wow! I like those pics! Those look like a perfect depth. I use small cabinets for my small collection. I need to step up the display effort! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive also a few broken and incomplete ones somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get even one good one for a while now, and I haven't managed yet (much like you, I've got some halfway decent ones, but nothing like yours) So finding multiple in one block sounds extremely rare!
