t-tree Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi thought i would show some of my collection and how i store it,most of these fossils have been shown and named on separate threads. The cabinets are just ikea filing drawers glued together with legs added. Upper Carboniferous Xiphosura Be happy while you're living for you're a long time dead.

Raggedy Man Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I see a HUGE problem you should address immediately. You have WAY TOO MANY crabs. I'd be happy to help you with this issue. Best regards, Paul 1 ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Very, very nice! These may be the answer for my hoard, once I move.

deutscheben Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Great fossils and a very classy storage system! I may have to borrow this idea if my collection gets large enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.CRINOID Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Nice collection! We just moved from IL to Pueblo West Colorado. Hope we can find fossils out here. We went to Mazon Creek a few years back and only found one. Too much mosquitos at that time and no repellent so we left pretty soon. Here is what we found. I can see anything on it.

t-tree Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Another cabinet made by putting Ikea filing drawers together but turning the drawers around and adding draw knobs,the small drawers are ideal for my chunkier finds.

Pilobolus Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hey t-tree: Would you happen to have model names/numbers on those IKEA filing cabinets? I searched quite a bit in their U.S. catalog and found nothing like the joinery and style you've got there. Much thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
