-Andy- Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Trading is a staple activity of our fossil meet-ups. This year was no exception; there were some amazing deals going on around, and a 1.5k ammonite changed hands here. And now, the most important post of all - Here are the amazing people that made this meet-up possible All in all, we had an awesome time. I am already looking forward to the next meet-up. If any of you pass by Singapore, don't hesitate to ring us up! See you next year! Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

MeargleSchmeargl Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Mouth watering collection (particularly those big megs and that lobster, baby! So jelly! Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killclaw Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Superb fossil displays there, really enhances the specimens on show. I'm hoping to start assembling a display area for my (gradually) growing dinosaur collection next year and that has helped provide some inspiration, thanks Andy!

RB Well, there aren't any fossils you could dig up in Singapore. Still, my country's a pretty good place to live if you can withstand the humidity and heat. We got many collectors and fossil enthusiasts here. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

snolly50 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 An outstanding, eclectic assemblage, wonderfully displayed. Once again, I have enjoyed the account of your gathering of fossil minded folk. I know it must have been a wonderful event. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
