2012 gathering 2013 gathering 2014 gathering 2015 gathering 2016 gathering 2017 gathering 2018 gathering 2019 gathering Hi everyone, the Singapore Fossils Collector had our annual meet-up again! I last stated in 2019 it'd be the last event at my place due to my new responsibilities with marriage and a new house looming. Little did we know that the biggest hurdle of all would be Covid And so for 4 years, all SG collectors gatherings were suspended. Much has changed. I am now a father, and I just got my own place 4 months ago! With my wife's permission, I finally got to host the annual gathering for Singapore fossil collectors again! This time, we even had friends from Malaysia and Vietnam joining! To be honest, my new place is still messy, and most of the labels have not been printed. Still, I didn't want to delay the gathering to 2024, else we might not get to meet our overseas friends, so I hosted the meet-up First up, a quick look at some of my cabinets: And soon, guests began to pour in: Some good trades going on! Group photos: Some of my acquisitions for the day: (For those wondering, these are mostly a mix of Malaysia and Vietnamese fossils. There are many copal from Malaysia that I did not photograph here) Thank you for viewing, and see you again next year! All in all, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and form new friendships, so all in all, I'd say it's a success! If any of you are visiting Singapore, don't hesitate to ring me up!

The KYANA Geological Society is hosting their annual mineral, gem, and fossil show next weekend (Nov. 22-24). I attended last year and it is a small, but fun event. I’m not sure which day I will be there, but I plan to take the family. Just passing along the information in case anyone is in the Louisville area and would like to attend. If you can’t make it, don’t worry, I will come back with a full trip report. http://www.kyanageo.org/showflier.htm
