Hello all. Apologies for not being able to reply or not being able to live up to my standard of constant questions. Currently I am in Vietnam on holiday and will go back to Australia via Singapore. I just suddenly thought, are there any fossil sites in: Singapore (in general), Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Hoi-Anh. (Sorry to anyone who lives in Vietnam if I misspelled your city. I am currently half asleep and on a sugar rush.) And one final question. Are there any fossils in Ha-long bay (I will only properly be able to respond once a day due to wi-fi.) Thanks in advance

What type of Teeth are these? They seem Crocodilian. Hope they're not restored lol.

Singapore Fossil Collectors 2023 End-year gathering!
-Andy- posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
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!

Singapore or Indonesian fossil excursion available?
SusieReale posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello! I run a ladies fossil hunting fb group here in Florida, USA but am traveling to Singapore October 6- 13 and would like to know: 1. Are there any excursions I can go on to find fossils in Singapore? What can be found there? 2. Are there any paid excursions in Java or elsewhere in Indonesia? 2a. Would it be safe to travel alone? (American female in her 50's if it makes a difference). I would need to fly in from Singapore and preferably meet with a reputable group. Thank you! -
Hello everyone. It's been a number of years since I started collecting, and I must offer my sincerest thanks to this forum for ever being so helpful and supportive, to the traders for the amazing exchanges, and to the mods for making this such a pleasant place to stay. Allow me to present some of my fossil collections. I hope you guys will enjoy them as much as I. I shall update this thread over the months as I continually photograph and update my specimens. Overview of my primary fossil cabinet

I recently purchased a rather large ammonite via auction from a seller in Singapore. It got held up in customs and I just received a notice of detention asking for documentation to prove it is legal. I wasn't aware that there is any law prohibiting import of fossils of extinct species from that region. Am I mistaken, or does customs just not know what they're doing?

Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum of Singapore
-Andy- posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Singapore is a small country and we lack a dedicated fossil museum here. Thankfully, we do have the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum which hosts several impressive dinosaur skeletons and has a small section for fossils. The museum can be found at the Kent Ridge Campus of the National University of Singapore in case anyone is thinking of visiting it when my country finally reopens. Interestingly, this museum is built around 3 Diplodocidae dinosaurs, so you'll see plenty of their pictures as I showcase the place Exterior of the museum The entry is at the right The very first fossils you will spot upon entering This is the middle of the musuem. All the exhibits are built around these 3 skeletons

I've always been fascinated by the Cretaceous sea and its myriad of terrifying carnivores, many that would've made Jaws look meek. After watching BBC's Sea Monsters, I made it my goal to compile a box of sea monster fossils. I started this journey 10 years ago, and finally completed the box recently. Allow me to present my Predators of the Cretaceous Sea collection, and take you on a journey to the most dangerous sea of all times. The box measures 20.25 inches long. Inside are 24 unique predator fossils. I will introduce them from left to right, top to bottom: Rhombodus binkhorsti Age: 70.6 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Formation: Severn Formation Locality: Bowie, Maryland, USA Size: 1 meters Diet: Molluscs and crustaceans art by Nobu Tamura --------------- Polyptychodon interruptus Age: 105.3 - 94.3 mya | Cretaceous Formation: Stoilensky Quarry stratigraphic unit Locality: Stary-Oskol, Belgorod Oblast, Russia Size: Maybe 7 meters (This is a tooth taxon so size is not confirmed) Diet: Anything it could catch Note: If you consider Polytychodon a nomen dubium, then this is a Pliosauridae indet. art by Mark Witton ----------------- Prognathodon giganteus Age: 70.6 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Formation: Ouled Abdoun Basin Locality: Khouribga Phosphate Deposits, Morocco Size: 10-14 meters Diet: Everything art by SYSTEM(ZBrushCentral) --------------- Coloborhynchinae indet. Age: 99.7 - 94.3 mya | late Cretaceous Formation: Kem Kem Beds Locality: Southeast Morocco Size: 7 meters (high estimate) Diet: Fish and cephalopods

Hi all, I have fossils from Singapore's Jurong Formation, aged from late Triassic to early Jurassic (235 - 175 mya). Some were found over 10 years ago by a fossil-digger while others were dug up recently by the two of us. Several specimens have been handed over to our local museum. However, no one really knows what family or genus these bivalves belong to. I was hoping you guys could help. Specimen 0A Specimen 0B Specimen 0B alt view Specimen 0B alt view

The Singapore Fossil Collector's Group just had our quarterly meetup. Eight of us gathered in one collector's house for a very eventful afternoon where we discussed about the on-goings of the fossil world, had a great show-and-tell session of our own beloved fossils, and of course fossil exchange and trade! Among the fossils being showcased and traded were Several quality meg teeth A full set of Cretaceous marine predator teeth Dinosaur teeth and claw Various shark and croc teeth LOTS and LOTS of amber Several fish Miocene plant slab Many spiny and high-quality trilobites Many ammonites Gastropods and other marine invertebrates Washington crabs Here are the pics of that incredible event.
