All I'll say about not numbering loose shells ......don't drop the specimen
tray!  Or move it (or the cabinet) too vigorously as shells can develop a
nasty habit of jumping from one container to another.....

One alternative is to place each lot (one species from one locality
collected at the same time) in a plastic vial or bag which is numbered...
