I need help with my little urchins please!

I have just bought these from a collector and the labels are a little jumbled. I have left them in the section they were in if there is a double set in one and no label in another! I have enough labels to go round a little help with where is needed!

I can obviously take more photos if required.

There is some beautiful ones in here, I am really pleased with them.

Thats annoying, took both pictures the same way round on my phone.

Would a mod be able to reorientate them please?

First thing is to label (with tape) each urchin that had the same number as the label near it. Then try to confirm ID, with better photos, the urchins that do not look like Microaster (the ones with a red check). You may need a specialist along with some great books to ID the Microasters.

You also want to show us the labels and urchins checked in attached photo. They are the urchins with two or no labels.

I can't help here but there is an excellent lesson to be learned here.... it is good to paint a specimen number onto your fossils.  There is a post on the forum somewhere about it.

I am out and about now but I will do this as soon as I get chance and tag you in conversation.

I can’t help with the IDs, but you have acquired a lot of lovely specimens there. :)
