The Fossil Cache Of A Singapore Collector

[Troodon]

Three beautiful Ammonites, I can see why you love them. Very nice additions to your collection. So how soon will you be in need of a new place to live to house your collection

I give myself 5 years

Thankfully I just acquired a new shelf in the living room, so that means I get some more room for more fossils!

Thanks. Am speaking to several dealers at the same time, really looking forward to adding some sweet pieces to my collection this year. And now I return to my big love: ammonites!

The only thing better than getting one new fossil is to get positive and negatives! Now you get double of a great fossil!

(There's even a shark tooth at the bottom of the ray! I haven't identified it yet. Never seen anything like it before.)

Wow! Very nice specimens!

One of the best collections on the forum!

Nice additions, Andy.

Thanks for letting me know

Both fish are nice, like the Triassic fish in either direction .   Does that Chinese shop ever carry dino material.  

[Macrophyseter]

wow, you could build a whole museum out of this. (maybe you should, wait, its already practically one) How do you normally get your fossils? And how long exactly did you collect for? 

I also think I saw you on a newspaper, or maybe your friend.

Thanks Frank. The Chinese shop only carries dino eggs, most of which are fake unfortunately.

Most of the time I buy them online. I have been collecting since 2009.

 

I've been on the Singapore newspaper twice if I recall correctly. My friends have been there too, at least twice. If you do read Singapore newspaper, chances are you spotted one of us.

Nice specimens Andy.
