Among Friends

Thanks to everyone who’s been reading & posting on all “my collection” threads. During these long days at home, I decided to pass some time by sharing my collectibles. I appreciate all your likes and comments. 

Here’s my last collection - a few fossils. These are the pieces I kept from my teaching days. The rest were donated to the school. 

I think it is amazing to be able to hold something in your hand that is millions of years old.

Fascinating.  I've loved petrified wood since my parents got a piece for me to mark my Arizona birth.  I loved tracing my finger along the striations...   And amber is so beautiful, eternally mysterious and glowing...  

Enjoyed your collections, @wilma !   Thanks for sharing.
