2023 Gathering

 

Hi, everyone! Here we are again -  the Singapore Fossils Collector had another annual meet-up! It has been a year since I moved to my new house, and I've managed to get a few more displays up and running. We had a few new faces this year! Hopefully, they will be the new generation of SG fossil collectors! Please enjoy the pictures :)

All in all, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and form new friendships, so all in all, I'd say it's a success! If any of you are visiting Singapore, don't hesitate to ring me up!

Nice collections!

 

I really like how the shelving was done. Everything seems to fit in there just right. Did you have to custom make that?

wow... look at how young the club members are.   The fossil clubs I know if are full of oldies like myself. 

 

Great display as well.  Fourth photo down... the lobster next to the Tumidocarcinus... where is that from?

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

That's an impressive collection, Andy! Great to finally see how this all turned out! And looks like you all had a wonderful time looking at and discussing your fossils 😄

 

Thanks for sharing!

Very impressing display and collection!

The entire cabinet is custom made to fit around the Mosasaurus skull. As for the rest of the shelves, I took 1-3 days to plan what kind of fossils I'd like to put inside, and how I'd fit them to the available space in the cabinet
