David in Japan 1,315 Report post Posted January 23 Hi guys, how are you? Lately I saw, that new members from Japan joined us and I'd like to say that it is a rejoying news. Unfortunately, I also noticed that those members tend to disappear really quickly or to be shy (and or busy which is 100% understandable and logic if you work and live in Japan). As we are a very small community in Japan, I would like to make a kind of census to know who is still active, where do you live (your prefecture only is enough) and why not what you are collecting here in Japan. This kind of census would also be helpful to put in contact members from the same area to organize fossil hunt and exchange tips about fossil hunting in Japan. What do you think?

Good Luck I am not doing it for me. I just noticed i often get messages from members in japan concerning fossil spots and after helping them they just disapear. That is why i would like to see who is active or not.

Planning a hunt in japanese carboniferous. Hope i can find good things and if very lucky i will hopefully find a goniatite. I haven't wrote report about this formation yet.

Washoi 10 Report post Posted March 14 I'm still around (kind of) lots of family things going on right now so I haven't been able to do much fossil related. Maybe this summer though, I hope, around me in Aichi there is little to nothing that I have access too but I'm still looking around and one day hopefully could make trips to collect stuff! Washoi Living in Aichi prefecture (Chubu) I have been collecting fossils in Japan via auctions and collecting when I go back to the UK for 4 or 5 years. I collect mainly marine reptiles and shark fossils. I love dinosaurs too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
