Hi!

Laurel Collins had similar problems and initiated exploration on MicroPal.
Here is what he assembled from the available information. If there is new
information please post it on Paleonet. I collect and redistribute it when
the next colleague runs out of equipment.

Best wishes!

My search for vendors of microfossil picking trays has turned up
2 options. There are no known vendors in the USA. There are at
least 2 vendors in Europe:

BIOTEC
31 Atherfield Road
Reigate, Surrey, RH2 7PR
UNITED
KINGDOM
(fax 44-(0)483-31106, phone 44-(0)737-240578).

Trays are high-quality heavy bronze painted flat black, 10x8.5cm
with sloping sides, divided into 42 squares (6 rows x 7 columns)
by lines scored in the metal, costing 12 pounds (about $18 USA)
with a discount for bulk orders (about 5 or more trays).

Note: My letters and faxes to this company over the last 2 years
have gone unanswered. I suggest interested buyers accept Norm
MacLeod's offer to handle orders.


FEMA Salzgitter
Steinfurter Strasse 15
Postfach 41 02 63,
D-48066 Muenster
GERMANY

Trays are reported to be of very high quality, durable, brass,
about 7x11cm, ruled in cm squares or unruled on black or white
background, costing $18 about 9 years ago.
