<div dir="ltr">Dear All, <div><br></div><div>As basic as that may seem, I'm looking through ideas for storage of mammal skulls (equids, camelids and such) on shelves (in a compactor system) that will both save space and enable reasonable access for researchers in comparative (modern) collection. Boxes are one option, but do tend to take up a lot of space, so before deciding on any solution (or combination of solutions) it will be good to hear what you have seen and/or done in your own collections. </div><div><br></div><div>What have you been pleased with in this type of storage? Trays? Foam supports? Other supports? Perhaps separators between skulls sitting directly on a padded shelf? These skulls mostly include both cranium (maxillae) and mandibles - mandibles are detachable. </div><div><br></div><div>May light prevail over darkness - my wish for 2024, </div><div><br></div><div>Gali <br clear="all"><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#000080" face="tahoma" size="2"><img width="295" height="590" style="width:57px;height:107px" src="https://docs.google.com/a/mail.huji.ac.il/uc?id=0B5B3I3QnN7dsSzNkbGlLNDNGWG8&export=download">Gali Beiner (ACR)</font></div><div><font color="#000080" face="tahoma" size="2">Conservator, Palaeontology
