Trays or slides?

[James Mahaffy <mahaffy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dr Bennington,

	I assume you want the slides and I repost a message to paleonet
since these have not been available for a bit. The list is apparently
working again.

Subject: Slides for microfossils

Folks,

	Since there have been several posts in the past asking where one
could get slides for picking microfossils, I pass along a note that was
posted to the conodont web site. It looks like a major supplier is
carrying them again.

John Repetski reports that he has been able to obtain
micropaleontological slides with aluminum holders from
Curtin-Matheson Scientific after a period during which they were
unavailable. For the benefit of those Panderers who did not have
a lifetime supply or an alternative source, the following
information may be helpful. I have just phoned the number John
gave me (1-800-879-2670, ext. 2834, or by Fax at 301-470-7390)
and verified that the items listed below are in stock or on
order.
The prices that were quoted to me are as shown. [I rationalize
that everything costs more than was once the case except
Panderer's salaries.]
