TOM BUCKLEY Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 When photographing a fossil it's always nice to include a ruler for reference. I don't like to use the stainless steel type as they are too shiny. Here's a link to a variety of printable rulers which you can print on to different color card stock. Enjoy.

Indy Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hi Tom Thanks for posting this very interesting link with rulers My personal focus is imaging and photo editing so I look at the rulers from a different point of view. Many variations of the "imaged" rulers can be used when editing fossil images to illustrate accurate length and width Barry Flash from the Past (Show Us Your Fossils)MAPS Fossil Show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisonJim Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Personally, I like the one where the guy lays on his back with stretched arms and legs to show the size of a skull in Montana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
