Recommended Posts

2015 was a great year for fossil-collecting, and as per usual, I was honored to be able to host the end-year meet-up at my place.

First up, some pics of my collection.

This year, we were lucky enough to have Anissa, who owns a lovely shop in Amsterdam to join us.

Also, the local TV network (Channel 8) sent a crew to film the event.

The fossils are wonderful pieces; but I am also impressed with their display. You have obviously taken great care to show off the fossils in a manner that allows for maximum appreciation. To my eye the overall look is abundant, but not crowded. This lets each piece stand on its own, but also provides a pleasant gestalt to the overall display. Very well done.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See

You have a vibrant community of fossil aficionados there, and very active. It is always fun to see it in action :)

Thank you for the kind comments everyone. I am fortunate to have such active fossil mates in Singapore! And my displays wouldn't have been possible for not for your constant help in ID-ing my stuff :)
