Hello Joe and Lucy (and all members)
I drop in occasionally to keep my eye on things with the forum design structure, and I noticed you have created a 'new topics' link - very useful it is too!. However, I noticed it was missing a trilobite and I have just popped one in to keep things 'netjes' as we say here in Holland (tidy).
I must say it is great to see the forum thriving and providing a useful resource - some of the posts are truly amazing - especially the advanced imaging techniques information!.
Kind regards to all,
Roy.

Hello Roy: Glad that you enjoy advanced imaging techniques topic, currently enjoy the experimentation of mirror less interchangeable lens type camera offers tremendous opportunity with extreme super macro photography application ... the lack of a mirror means minimal mechanical vibrations that negate and diminish resolution.... This site is worth keeping alive : )

Hi Joe,
I have been living in Nijmegen since October 2008, but my office is in Amsterdam so I spend a lot of time on trains these days. I work all over the country and find it fascinating to learn about Dutch culture and history through my work. A good friend ours is a retired biology teacher and he has a keen interest in the fossilised flora of the areas he visits in his current role as a biology tour leader. He is in Australia at the moment for two months, so I am looking forward to some interesting tales on his return.
I have borrowed a book of his entitled 'De Geologische Stad' (the Geological City) which is a guide to interesting geological features to be seen embedded in the walls and floors of buildings throughout the land. It is fascinating to see several Cardioceras Cordatum embedded in the wall of the main post office in Arnhem.
I have a couple of books belonging to you too Joe - 'The Burgess Shale', 'Paleontology' and 'The Ecology of Fossils'. All are safe with me here in Nijmegen but perhaps we could arrange to meet in the UK for me to return them to you - or of course you are very welcome to stay over here if you feel like a field trip to the post offices of the Netherlands!.
Any way, it really is wonderful to see the forum thriving and that everyone is finding good uses to put it to. I check in here quite a bit so perhaps we can have a chat about how things are with the main OATH site...
All the very best for now,
Roy
