A couple fossil logs can be seen in the upper right.

Context is critical.

Woah...thats huge!

How do you know those are fossil logs though?

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

I saw them in person. :)

I really like the 45 degree view on google maps website these days. I can see my outcrop from the imagery. http://g.co/maps/5wmq9

As luck (or Pleistocene glaciers) would have it, most natural outcrops in my immediate area are northward facing.

The 45-deg feature is excellent for scouting road cuts, though.
