  1. I've seen requests for silhouettes for labels and this popped up this morning on twitter. It looks like a new site with over 7000 silhouettes. The contributors to the artwork are pretty notable individuals. I have NOT spent the time delving into it so not sure the pitfalls, if any. Thought those interested in it can check it out https://www.phylopic.org/ @Francesco1994
  2. Hello everyone ! I wanted to ask you where I could find "silhouette" images of the species to put on labels for my collection. I am in fact making an inventory and cataloging all my fossils and I would like to create labels on the style that I am attaching to you at the bottom. Is there a site or any stock images of this type? From the images it would seem that they all belong to the same "style". Thank you in advance and have a nice week!

    Labels for fossils

    I have started labeling my fossils. But a few questions. For example a Mosasaur and dino from Morocco Theropod dinosaur teeth Abelisaurid indet. Kem Kem Beds, Morocco Late Cretaceous ~95 million years Mosasaur teeth Igdamanosaurus aegyptiacus Oulad Abdoun Basin, Morocco Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian (~70 million years) Are these labels right? I wonder about the "Eocene, Ypresian" Does that work or should I do "Eocene Ypresian" ?

    Handmade trays

    This is just a quick post. I made this card prototype tray. It is to give an idea of what the critters look like then alive. The reason for this is to help my friend’s kids to enjoy my collection when they pop round for tea. As the kids love opening my cabinet drawers. I think it could be a good idea? Cheers Bobby
  5. Dear forummembers, In my collection are two old Krantz Squalicorax pristodontus fossils, and with their old labels and old box they sure look quite interesting. I was wondering who else has old fossils from Krantz, maybe it would be nice to see other old Krantz fossils in their original boxes and with their old labels. There is also a catch to this however. The one on the right mentions it is from Ciply and is No.50, but there is no number to be found and the matrix tells us it is acutally from the Nekum Mbr of the Aachen-Maastricht-Liège area, and not the Mons basin. So my hopes are to find tooth No.50 from Ciply and swap the labels. Or to see from which locations Krantz sold fossils from the Aachen-Maastricht-Liège area in order to estimate where my piece might have been found. But apart from that, this topic is open to all ex-Krantz fossils, and I am curious to what will be shown here in the future. Kind regards, Sander

    I spent most of Friday pulling out my nicer finds from Big Brook and Maryland to put in gem jars (1.5 inches). I figured since I am stuck working in my home office, I should at least have things around me that I enjoy. I spent most of the week leading up to Friday making labels to slide in between the foam on the back. I used a template in Word that is for 1.5 inch circular labels so it was perfect. I was suprised how much I was able to get on them. For anyone who is interested the template is Avery 8293. I want to thank @Praefectus@Darktooth for all there feedback with labels and what type of jars to get. You both where, as always, where a huge help. Enjoys the pics.
  7. Hi everyone! Well, the time has come to show you what my fossil display area looks like! The two cabinets were gifts from my mother-in-law, the two side tables with shelves and the bench (which has a storage area inside) and the ammonite artwork were gifts from my husband, the linocut prints are by the extremely talented @Bobby Rico, and the Burgess Shale toys and under-cabinet lights and labels were bought by me. I put as much information as I had for each fossil on the labels, as well as an explanation of how I acquired each fossil so many of you may notice your TFF names on the labels The four empty shelves will be for displaying Viola's fossils - that'll be a project for the summer, so when that part is complete I'll update this thread with additional photos. But for now, please enjoy the little tour of my basement fossil area: The whole area: The shelf that has Precambrian and Cambrian specimens: The cabinet that has fossils from the Ordovician to Carboniferous Animals: The cabinet that has Carboniferous Plants to Oligocene fossils: The shelf that has Miocene to Pleistocene fossils: Thanks for having a look! I'll tag a few people who might be interested in seeing these photos: @caldigger @Nimravis @Tidgy's Dad @FranzBernhard @Wrangellian
  8. One of the cardinal rules for making a fossil collection is "Labeling". Many collectors have Curios, Drawers, Cabinets, Boxes, Tabletops, Lit displays, Glass shelves and the common "cubby" somewhere in the den, the basement or garage to keep their fossil collection. I'm not going to address where you keep your fossils or how you admire them. I want to talk about what should be alongside your fossils. This post is strictly about labels; so no mention here of controlled climate conditions or expensive furnitures. The information we have about our fossils is the single most important part of the fossil. It doesn't matter if you found it, traded for it or bought it. A fossil without information is a neat thing to see, or use as a door stop, but falls short especially if the fossil is valuable to Science or in the market place. I thought I would share how you can meet information requirements, organize and customize your fossil collection for displaying or for just plain storage. Some collectors have electronic programs to store the fossil collection information. I have Trilobase; other programs can include other types of fossils. These are good filing systems. The actual physical fossil label with an index number is great too. Both physical records and electronic records would be best. Playing around with many styles and formats can give you a feel of how much info is needed or desired. The labels I keep with my specimens for display are more minimal. I will show how you can keep a specimen index number, name, age, strata, locality, species, acquisition, and display it well. Using labels to hold unique index #'s that correspond to the marked fossil specimens is the best system. I like to publicly display my collection in viewing display cabinets. Storing them in between showings, in plastic bins, the labels can be modified to keep things straight and keep the necessary info all at the same time. I see many styles of labels other collectors and institutions use and they are practical and pleasant to see. My ideas are just the start of possibilities to suggest organizing this important part of curating. I start with 60# cardstock; one can get many colors, textures, patterns and effects to print labels. Colors can be Neutrals, Earth Tones and Vibrants, it is all a matter of taste and personal style. The different types of formats and fonts that can make the labels, is equally wide open to taste and style. I coordinate different looking colored labels to separate groups by localities, types, kingdoms or which display I keep them together in. Most labels are coded each with (*,P or T). that notes if I found it, I purchased it or I traded for it. Your uniquely designed index numbers can have secret codes to keep a secret locality only you know the code for. One could start with a basic adopted label form on hand and then fill in the lines by handwriting the information on the label or have unique labels in a pdf file that can print one or many of that label. This is my filing card which holds more information. The file is designed to print four cards on a standard 8 X 10 sheet of paper. You are welcome to download and use my file if you wish. Fossil Catalogue Card.doc If labels are printed on an inkjet or bubble jet, the labels should get a protective coat to prevent moisture or liquids of any kind from wiping out the information. If laser printing labels it usually isn't necessary to coat. If anything is gained out of this post, make it be, labels are a must for any serious collection. If your collection is one or thousands just do the labeling; our memories aren't infallible.
  9. Hello! Over the weekend I made some new labels for my fossil collection and I was wondering what everyone thought of them. I have QR codes which link to the corresponding "prehistoric-wildlife.com" species page for more info, and I added in some basic I.D. info to the cards to not crowd them. I also attached numbers to the labels and the fossils, so that I don't need to keep the labels directly next to the fossils. Would love to know what you think, and if anyone wants more information/the template I created. Thanks! P.S. Two of my I.D.s I'm still not 100% on (deltadromeus and Pectinodon) and I don't want anyone to assume I've completely I.D.ed them. Thanks!
