Howdy!
I’ve recently inherited a small amount of money, which I intend to spend on a high quality fossil. Merry Christmas to me! (I’m sure my Mom would approve…)
I’ve always wanted a Solnhofen dragonfly. Attached are a couple photos of a specimen of interest, identified as Aeschnogomphus. I’ve requested UV photos if possible of specimen, which is in Europe.
I know it’s essentially all real. But is there artistic enhancement?
Seller says no repair, but can’t say whether it has been enhanced.
It is very, very expensive, a once in a lifetime purchase. Probably a good investment. But perhaps too expensive to buy online…From someone I don’t know…
I can provide website name or link if allowed on this Forum.
I also have my eye on a Burgess Shale fossil as an alternative, authenticity guaranteed, from a very reputable guy I’ve purchased from before.
Any thoughts at all would be much appreciated. Cheers!
