Newbie_1971 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I was fortunate enough to be invited to a Christmas party hosted by Dan Cooper today. I arrived not knowing what to expect as I had never met him, let alone his friends and family. It didn't take long to figure out that I was with amazing people. Everyone there was so laid back and had a passion for fossils and fossil collecting. Dan is by far one of the most laid back and nicest people that I have met. He took the time to take me around his facility and show me fossils that were being prepped and parts of his collection, as well as introducing me to his friends and family. I can't say enough about this guy and the people that were there! Anyhow, a few photos from the visit. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every time I visit the prep facility, it makes my collection seem so miniscule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
