Apachesaurus display - the first of many?

[Opabinia Blues]

I have a rather large collection of fossils, and though I enjoy showing it off to people the majority of onlookers are never quite sure what exactly they’re looking at or the significance of it. Everything is labeled, but to the uninitiated that usually means very little.

 

So, I have been meaning for quite a while to undergo a project to add information to my fossil displays in the same way a museum would, so that visitors can better appreciate what they’re seeing and maybe even learn something.

 

I made this little case for a few Apachesaurus fossils. Hopefully in the future I can display all of my fossils in a similar manner, with context for people who aren’t paleontology nerds.

 

 

My “Permo-Triassic” shelf is the one I intend to do first. Once I get that in place I’ll show it off, and maybe document the rest of the creation of my “museum.” I have some neat ideas about how to display some of my items!
