Samuel Kim Fossil Collection

I am an avid fossil collector and this website showcases the finest and most interesting/unusual fossils in my collection. I primarily focus on crinoids, which in my opinion are the most beautiful and fascinatingly-variable group of invertebrates throughout the fossil record.

Feel free to contact me if you see any specimens that you have comments/questions about, or if you have any interesting crinoid or echinoderm fossils you might be willing to sell/trade.

In formatting this website I took heavy inspiration (with permission) from http://www.crinus.info, the website of Joseph Koniecki; my fossil mentor and good friend who possesses a world-class fossil collection that truly sparked my obsession with crinoids.
