Hello Arnaud,

I should clarify my comments on labeling specimens of meteorites, fossils or
artifacts. At this point, I do not intend to 'number' each of my items with
my own collection number. I was mainly referring to find locations, dates,
etc. on larger fossils, artifacts and meteorites I find. I would never think
of painting (tagging/painting graffiti) fresh meteorites, or delicate
fossils or artifacts. On the other hand, most of these items don't have a
handy hole to string a thread with paper ID card, which I actually like that
old school look!
Best regards,
Greg

Hello,
I would like to disagree with everyone here. If we all start painting
numbers on meteorites, in 2-3 generations, all specimens will be full of
useless graffiti - who will know which number matches which "minor"
collection? So the problem would remain exactly the same. When I say
"minor", I mean not a lot of people have a collection which can be
compared to a Nininger, Monnig or any national museum collection! And with
time, with more maturity, what if you find your inventory numbering system
inefficient, what if you decide to change it?
Personally I will never paint anything on my collection specimens. I
prefer to take 1 or more pictures per specimen + weight + other important
characteristics, label them and keep then in different boxes.
Just my opinion,
Best,
Arnaud

Very good points indeed and interesting reading. Theres a lot to chew
over there but looks like i may be taking the plunge and starting the
process at some point.
Thanks very much for all your considered and informative replies
