Bavarian Fossils
My name is Fabian, born in 1995 in Rosenheim in Upper Bavaria. The passion for minerals developed already at elementary school age, although fossils played rather a minor role until the beginning of my studies of geosciences at the FAU Erlangen. Since the Franconian area has rather little to offer in terms of minerals, I came to fossil collecting. Little by little I set up a small preparation workshop and my Franconian local collection grew and grew and grew. Because of lack of space and because one cannot keep the 1500th Pleuroceras spinatum I now offer doubles and single specimens from my fossil and mineral collection for sale. Out of interest in preparation techniques I also buy raw material from time to time to broaden my horizon a bit.
My collection-philosophy
--- Aesthetics --- In general, I try to select my pieces based on their aesthetics. That means I purely focus on visual values and only occasionally consider scientific or systematic criteria. I will gradually showcase selected pieces from my collection, both fossils and minerals, on this homepage and in my Instagram blog.
