Thanks Gail,
the China exhibit at the U of A is spectacular and you are making a serious good job at showing the quality and diversity of the specimens on exhibit.
One suggestion, it is always difficult to appreciate the size of these specimens. As a scale, can we use the labels? My recollection, they are all the same size, approximately 6-7 cm across. Correct?
Knowing this will provide a better idea and appreciation of the sizes of the specimens to the viewers.
Cheers
Jean

I believe they are just slightly taller than average American business cards. But similar in length. Thanks Jean!
