2022 Des Plaines Valley Geological Society Mineral / Fossil Show
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Today I drove 34 miles stop by the Des Plaines Valley Geological Society’s Annual Mineral and Fossil Show that is held at the Des Plaines Park District building. This is a very small show that runs For 2 days (Saturday and Sunday). Even though it is a small show, sometimes you can find some nice stuff. One dealer had some insects from the Santana Formation in Brazil and she had some other pieces from Bear Gulch in Montana, these are things that I would not expect to see at a little show like this. With that said, there are also the usual suspects, i.e. composite Mosasaur jaws from Morocco. The show also had displays, a silent auction, raffle items, and kids corner. These types of things help draw families in. I only bought one thing today and it was a nice piece of Agatized coral from Tampa Bay. After winning a couple auctions that John @Sacha , had to benefit the forum, I fell in love with the stuff, and for $20.00, I could not just let this piece sit at the show. If you live in the area, stop by, you might find something to take home. Here are some pics of the show. Displays Raffle item- Silent Auction Items for sale-- 7 replies
