Fossils are fascinating and I thought it might be good idea to photograph my humble collection. Although this is a small collection, it is quite satisfying to have and look at from time to time. As the outside elements are horrible (aka allergy season) , it's a good time to blog it. There is something that is dare I say fun about organizing and classifying. Also thinking about some shadow boxes I have that could be used for hanging up and displaying some of them. As of now they are mostly sitting in a box. 💤😪 Fossils that I would like to add to my collection: more plant fossils, gastropods (snails), crinoid, corals, stromatolite, (ancient algae), trace fossils and it would be great to have an amber fossil. It would be nice to have a fossil for each period.

Pennsylvanian period - fern
petrified wood
bone, brachiopods
