Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
This weekend was the Annual ESCONI Rock, Mineral and Fossil Show that is held on Saturday and Sunday at the DuPage County Fairgrounds. There were a lot of people at this local show and with the “feels like” temperature was hovering at about 5 degrees, it was a great place to go. This show has several vendors, exhibits, kids corner, demos, silent auction, live auction and door prizes. Exhibits- -

Denver Mineral, Fossil, Gem & Mineral Show 2022
Top Trilo posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Today I took a trip to the annual Denver fossil show, I really enjoyed it and it wasn’t 90+ F (32+ C) this time. There were fossils and minerals from all over the world, all though mostly minerals. I tried taking pictures of mostly different fossils, and they are not representative of what was at the show. If you do decide to go (it’s open for another week) look out for fakes and resorted and composited material there were many of those. It was fun to wander around looking at everything even if most of it is far outside my budget.- 37 replies

Today I too a quick run out to the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles, Illinois to visit the Chicago Gem and Mineral Show that is held at this location every Memorial Day Weekend. The show runs today and tomorrow and it opened at 10 am. My wife and I arrived at about 9:00 am and sat in the car for about 40 minutes. It pays to get to this show early, because there are always a lot of attendees and by the time the doors open, there could be about 150 people in line. A few minutes after I took the above picture, the line snaked a

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 Mosasau- 7 replies

Even though I fancy myself as a self-collector of fossils, I have always been interested and attended shows as they are excellent learning/networking venues. For the past few years, I have been attending the Quartzsite shows. The first times I attended, I was pretty lost since they are actually a series of shows, some overlapping, some not, at different venues. Very confusing. That's part of the charm though since there is much to like about these shows: they occur at a time of the year (winter) when nothing else is happening in much of the country, you can find excellent bargains, they are pr

Hi everyone, would like to ask about the Sydney Fossil show earlier this year and I think there is one coming up later in October (unless cancelled due to covid). I went a couple years ago but from what I saw then, there was not much dino material but only the usual "museum gift shop" fossils or crystals. May I ask if anyone has gone to them recently and if they think its worth going for someone more into dinosaurs? And if you guys know when the next one is? Thanks!

Denver Mineral, Fossil Gem & Jewelry Show 2021
Top Trilo posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Yesterday (9-11-2021) I went to the Denver fossil show. It was my first time going and I really enjoyed it. Most of the show was minerals and gems and jewelry however there were quite a few fossils. Unfortunately, most were Moroccan. There were some Pleistocene fossils, Meg teeth, USA Dino material and a few other things. Well might as well start with the photos. Let’s start with the few mineral pictures i took. Next up the Moroccan material which dominated the fossils present. -

Show us your favorite brachiopod fossil in your Collection! -
Hello, Just wondering, when you visit a large Fossil or Mineral expo / fair, do you guys bring your UV light to check if the fossils are real ? If you spot something suspicious on for example a tooth of claw, what will it look like? Im buying my UV light for future purchases. Looking forward to hear what you all take along when you're on the hunt for new fossils. Another question, can you spot a Fossil in matrix with the UV light? Best regards, Egon

Morning folks. I have another item from my unidentified drawer and I'm hoping someone can help identify it. This was part of a lot sale from the 2002 Tucson show with no descriptions, it was from estate sale being sold by a friend. All I know is he collected many west coast items. The actual "honey bee" is 21mm long and 20mm wide. Any help is appreciated.

Well, we've had Brachiopods and Trilobites, so I figured let's give fish a try! I am going to start this off with my Enchodus marchesettii from the Hakel Quarry of Lebanon. Not only is this fossil 100% complete with the only restoration done was repairing the matrix itself, but I received this from one of my good friends on none other than my birthday! This is my favorite fossil in my ENTIRE collection! More will come from the Greenriver side of my collection, I just gotta get my camera fixed

South Suburban Earth Science Club- Fossil, Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
This morning I went with my Grandson AJ, on a quick 100 mile round trip to a suburb of Chicago, Chicago Heights, to check out the "South Suburban Earth Science Club- Fossil, Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show"- this is a show that I have never attended before and it was held in the gym at Prairie State College. It is a small show with only about 15 vendors, but it was nice to visit. They had a nice little childrens section and AJ decided that he wanted to select a free plastic spider rather than a small Mazon Creek fern, he also bought a nice little green heart for Grandma, who did not attend. -

Southern Illinois Earth Science Club Rock / Mineral / Fossil Show
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
While driving thru Marion, Illinois ( 5 1/2 hours South of Chicago) I decided to stop for 1 hour at the Southern Illinois Earth Science Club Show that is going on today and tomorrow. I have never been to this show and I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was a great show that had a lot of people that showed up. This show had a Kids Corner, Flint Knapping, Sifting for Minerals, Demonstrations and Exhibits. There was a wide range of items for sale at good prices. If you ever have a chance to be in Southern Illinois during April, check to see if this show is going and stop- 29 replies
