To whom it may concern, My name is Majken Schimmel, and I am a first-year Master's student at Virginia Tech in the Geosciences department. I am looking at predation traces in Eocene Brachiopods and Echinoids from the Castle Hayne Limestone in North Carolina for my thesis. So far, we have collected about 500 specimens and are planning another collection trip, but I have only been able to process 200 of these due to my diminishing supply of specimen boxes. To buy all the boxes I would need would be very expensive, and my adviser, Michal Kowalewski, does not currently have any money to buy them for me. I was hoping that you can help me out by donating your surplus and recycled specimen trays/boxes to me. The most helpful sizes would be the 2*3 in. and 3*4 in. boxes, anything larger would be a waste of space. Thank you, and I appreciate it! Majken Schimmel M.S.
