I can see quite a few fossils on your bookshelves (and in the glass display cases?).. You've made a pretty good start and I would call that a collection, though your mineral collection is much more extensive and more well organized. I'd like to consolidate all my minerals into a separate unit. As it is, one or two drawers in each unit has minerals, the rest are fossils. But it might be troublesome to move everything around!

Rob Russell Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Nice assortment of essexella, worms, and flora specimens. I see a nice Tully in there too. Sweet collection, Eric. Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have more specimens in glass display. Well, the Pliocene is a collection. It is in plastic boxes and then inside plastic containers. We can call it a research collection. More than 2000 specimens from field work sampling. Later I will give it to a University or Palaeontology Department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If You have 3 or more- it is a collection, and You are a collector. 18 hours ago, Tidgy's Dad said: Amazing displays, chaps! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I noticed you 'master thesis' note. That probably makes it a necessity to donate it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet collection, Eric. Thanks Bob. It's surprising how quickly it accumulated despite shelling out for it... Maybe I got while the getting was good.
