[Nhcoll-l] Storage methods for micromammal tooth and bones

[Vicen Carrio]

Dear Marta,

There are lots of ways on keeping your microfossils:
Specimen trays, Screw cap vials, w/pins in corks, Shell vials, w/pins in corks, Gelatin capsules in vials, Gelatin capsules, Baggies , Micro-centrifuge cuvettes, Cuvettes,…
The best found was cuvettes.
You could search for the paper that Matt Smith published in 2007: “Vertebrate Microfossil Storage, the Basics and a New Technique”

Yours,

Vicen

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Storage methods for micromammal tooth and bones

Dear colleagues,
I would like to ask you about storage methods for micromammal tooth and bones. We have all our paleontological colection fixed to to a greasy, sticky putty that looks like a kind of "blu-tack" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu_Tack).
Any preventive conservation approved solutions will be welcome!
All the best,
