The Fossil Cache Of A Singapore Collector


-Andy-

Recommended Posts

I was going to say you could teach a class about the history of life with your collection as visual aids but you are already doing it.

It is certainly a well thought-out collection - examples of many groups from many points in time across the past three eras. As others have said, you have it all well-displayed too.

Today I held a fossil visit at my place for a group of fellow joggers who've never seen fossils before. I converted my living room into a mini museum of sorts. Needless to say, we had a blast. Here are some of the displays.

Andy, your collection keepos growing by leaps and bounds. You will soon need to find a larger space to house the "Fossil Cache of a Signapore Collector" Nice additions.

As it turns out, I just rearranged my cabinets a little.

My Gundams had to make way unfortunately, but at least now I got a large shelf for new fossils!

Ha ha fossils always have priority but your cabinets must be getting a bit tight.

Mine's tame compared to some of the collectors in Singapore.

This is but a corner of one room of Han Yang's collection(another member in TFF).
