mr.cheese Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.cheese Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Thats annoying, took both pictures the same way round on my phone. Would a mod be able to reorientate them please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) 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.

DPS Ammonite Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 You also want to show us the labels and urchins checked in attached photo. They are the urchins with two or no labels.

jpc Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I can’t help with the IDs, but you have acquired a lot of lovely specimens there.

Psittacosaur9 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I admittedly have very little knowledge on urchins, but that's a lovely collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
