txemiku Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 You have already helped to fill the shelves jejejejeje. Well, ammonites are mainly for my area from the old times. Nothing to do now because of the natural park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofossil Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Txemiku, Those are great fossils in a great displays I'm sure you've done a lot of sweating 'lugging' those prizes home from the field. Curious. Those look like wooden shelves. Are they just thick wood or are they reinforced with steel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofossil Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Geoforum is site that some of you will find interesting. The theme of the following reference is the same as this thread: displays of fossils but mostly by collectors in France. The forum is about all geology with a subsection on Paleontology. It's in French but photos are universal. Ammonites tend to dominate the collections of many Europeans although all taxa are collected.

jbstedman Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I have been very impressed by the amazing ways folks display their fossils, and the truly amazing collections people have. Both inspiring and very daunting. But, I have to say that I can clearly tell who lives with cats and who doesn't. What better fun is there than to bat that tooth or shell from its ledge onto the floor? Besides fossils, I collect roadcuts, Stream beds, Winter beaches: Places of pilgrimage.

Curious. Those look like wooden shelves. Are they just thick wood or are they reinforced with steel? Thank geofossil for your kind words. The shelves are made of thick wood and the secret is that due to the big surface the pressure is not so important when you distributed the fossil homogeneusly. Obviously the heavy piece are down or in reinforced shelves. Those photos are a bit old and now the whole furniture is properly illuminated so it looks much better.

crinus Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Here is my home museum. I finished the basement and put in the display case which is permanent. I build my own collection cabinets. For the person that mentioned cats. I have six cats and they leave the fossils alone. Obviously, most of the collection is in the cabinets but the display case does not have a glass door and I still don't have a problem. I have to admit that I do not leave small fossils lying around. However, while on vacation one of the cats got the cover of my microscope off and took the rubber eye pieces. To this day, I have yet to find one of them. Fortunately replacements are not very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Once again Crinus your collection has amazed me. Your first crinoids were amazing, and now i am drooling at the specimens on your cabinets. Please keep posting pics. I am sure those drawers hold many treasures!!
