Shadow Shot Sunday # 21- Fossil Fossicking


Trilobite fossil the last of the trilobites died out over 250 million years ago

On Saturday we went to the local Gem Showby the North Brisbane Lapidary Club, Mr G has long been a gem and fossil show enthusist and has plenty of amazing things in his collection





We bought the boys the beginning of their own fossil collection, F's collections starting from the left are Fossilised fish; ammonite black, ammonite white, Spinosaurus tooth ; shark tooth fossil and trilobite fossil



Also found these great storage boxes at the cheap shop, and now they have the beginnings of their own fossil collection, nothing quite like owning box of things that date back hundreds of millions of years...bit like having a museum in your bedroom..

I'll admit I love this stuff, they also make some very cool shadows, due to the detail and subtle nature of the fossils I did a photoshop cutout to enphasise them. I think the results are pretty cool.

F hasn't seen these(having been at his dads this weekend) as yet but given his love for dinosaurs he is bound to be blown away about having his own dinosaur tooth..

This week has been a bit better for me, I found out a health concern is cleared up, got a rate increase at work, and had a wonderful friday night date night with Mr G..I'm starting to feel more human again..still plenty to get sorted out but I feel a bit hopeful..

Fossick your way over to Hey Harriet and check out those gorgeous Sunday shadows..

I like your gem shadows. I remember visiting that North Bris Lapidary Club many years ago. Happy to hear that it's still operating. Also happy to hear that you've had a better week this week. Take care!
