Indo-Pacific Ancient Ecosystems Group

We are happy to announce that our second shipment of samples from Indonesia have arrived safely! Yesterday morning our container filled with 93 crates was brought to NCB Naturalis. Crates were unloaded and divided according to different institutions and are now waiting for further shipment to their eager researchers!

For those of you thinking we are payed to go to Indonesia
and enjoy tropical beaches walking around occasionaly looking for fossils, I
will try to describe our working day. Place of action: Talisayan, little
village in the middle of the Mankalihat northern coast.

06:30 Wake up, using lovely common facilities (no toilet,
shower, or tap water in the room).

07:00 Breakfast in the nearby restaurant.
