-Andy- Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I've been looking for hesperornis fossils for a while, and recently, an acquaintance presented me with a challenge: He would send me a bag of broken up hesperornis verts for me to assemble. In return, I had to send him the biggest and best vert back. He also warned me it could be a real headache. I took the challenge. Lo and behold! I was presented with over 60 broken pieces, some of which were tiny and terribly fragmented (not shown in picture) Nonetheless, I googled for pictures of hesperornis verts and put what limited knowledge I had on fossil assembly into this task. After 18 hours, this is what I got: All in all, it was a tiring but satisfying job and now I can happily say I am the proud owner of a chain of associated hesperornis verts 11 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 There is a lot of satisfaction in completing 3D paleo puzzles. Well done, Andy. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Great job, Andy! Anything from Hesperornis is cool IMO - and you scored something quite nice If only my friends could send me challenges like that.... Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...
