About

I'm Tijn, an enthusiastic 22-year-old fossil collector and biology student based in the Netherlands. My fascination with fossils started at the age of 7, and I've had it ever since. I started seriously collecting fossils in 2015, which has taken me on thrilling fossil hunts both locally and across the globe. Including an annual fossil hunting trip with Paleoprospectors where I am an assistant guide. I also am a board member of Paleontica, which includes organizing PaleoTime NL (the country's biggest fossil fair). I started this website as a way to share my knowledge and passion with other people
