    Hi All,

    I was just wondering how you guys store / display your fossil collections?

    I have a small collection that is spread out over shelves, boxes and drawers.
    I'd like to get them all together in one place.

    2nd question. Whats the best/favourite fossil you own?

    Thanks,

    Al

    One way you can go is look at old china cabinets. They're not fashionable these days, but 20 years ago nearly every house had one. They're designed for display so can work with many types of collection, from fossils to models or whatever. You should be able to source one for well under a hundred quid.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I don´t display them... have too many cats. I keep them safe in a neat box that looks like a pirate treasure chest (the fossils, not the cats).
