Well Dorky is never a term I associate with you Nora. good idea though, and if I may elaborate a tad , how about printing the
data on a post it, it has what we call in the adhesives industry "low tack" adhesive. On a scale of 1-1--10 ten being
cynoacrylic (superglue) and one being sputum, low tack is a 4'ish. Can attach well but detaches easily. so print label,
attach shell and it (the label) should act like and anchor. ferret

|I usually have really 'dorky' ideas about shell curation but here are two more

|- put in cardboard separators into a box so that each shell lays in a small

|- fill the bottom of the tray with some sand - that might look nice too and as
