[NHCOLL-L:5754] RE: Dinosaur fossil storage

[Vicen Carrio]

Hi Kate,

 

I have included my Museum Environmental Policy that was reviewed last year.

 

You can have a look too at the Natural History Museum web site.

 

http://collections.paleo.amnh.org/6/storing/storage-environments

 

I will suggest you to check the conditions of the specimens and their localities (some are more vulnerable than others) before storing them.

 

Are you storing only fossils in your store or are you mixing them with other collections?

 

Hope that this can help you.

 

Vicen

Hi all,

Sorry for cross-posting.

Could I please have some advice on the best environment for storage of dinosaur fossils: relative humidity and temperature.

I'd like to see what the general majority use.

Thanks!
