Around 250 fossils, with more than 3.000 millions of years old, will form the exhibition of collector Fernando Albi Oliver who will host the Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum Municipal Soler Blasco de Xàbia. Starting Friday, April 27, and until June 10, the public will be able to observe extraordinary pieces such as stromatolites, Mammoths and Cave Bears of about 18.000 years old, as well as amber, Ammonites, Trilobites, Belemnites, Dinosaurs or Giant sharks, such as the Otodus Obliqus and the Oxyrhina Desori.
The exhibition, aimed at children, is composed of three groups: vertebrates, invertebrates and plants. Fernando Albi began his collection in the 60 years to find a bivalve in the town of Morella (Castellón) on a trip he made with his father as a reward for having approved the studies. From those dates, his love for fossils grew. One world, according to Albi, "Fascinating and mysterious life of millions of years ago".
He began by keeping in a box everything he found in Spain or abroad (Morella, Buñol, Lagunas Ruidera, Geneva, Czech Republic) and now his collection is composed of more than 450 fossils from five continents.

I trust that the Fossil Exhibition will please, since it is the compendium of a lifetime of more than 50 years. Of that miracle of the past life, converted as if by magic, in stone.
