This question is directed at those of us who do buy fossils. Would you buy fossils from China? Legally, it seems questionable. They are highly available, which makes me wonder what is going on.

I was in Graf…. for Ordovician Maquoketa shale! Not really, I found it in my mailbox thanks to Mike.

I have a ton of belemnites lying around, the picture does not include all of them, just a few examples of what I have, there are probably around three more batches like this I just have not found them yet, (I will post pictures when they are found). Since these are not too spectacular I am also not looking for anything serious but if anyone is interested please contact me through this or PM.

Hey everyone, For anyone who has dinosaur teeth and wants to trade for them. If you are interested, then please respond and put what type of dinosaur tooth you would trade for. If I am interested, I will respond and tell you what I will trade for it. If you accept, then the trade goes on. Let’s see who wants to trade! Thanks! - FossilsandScience

Here is another 3D prepared Portunus monspeliensis that I'd like to trade. Size of the crab is around 9cm in a 13×13 nodule. I'm looking for: prepped/unprepped complete/incomplete crabs White River material English ammonites (Lyme Regis/ Charmouth and Somerset) USA trilobites USA dinosaur material Triassic ammonites Anything that you think is cool

Looking to trade paleozoic invertebrates from North America for good Waldron Shale material. I have a good selection of prepared trilobites, crinoids, brachiopods, etc..specimens for exchange. species@columbus.rr.com.

Hey everybody, For a school project I'm looking for a ton of mini belemnites (2-4cm things). Quite urgent I would be able to trade for shark teeth, Moroccan dino teeth, trilo's, .. or else buy them. Would any of you have some to trade? Best regards and thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm doing Paleoart as you know,so I'm willing to trade for my drawings.I'm interested in all kinds of fossils...I would rather fossil trade with my own fossils,but now I'm having problems with sending them to another country ( I have trade successfully with them earlier).And now I'm trying to solve that problem and It takes time.Because of that i have drawings and i can send them easily.I'm doing all kinds of prehistoric animals as u know. If anyone is interested,feel free to send me a message Thanks

Here is a double (almost) concrection of Portunus monspelliensis (old name: Neptunus granulatus) from the Miocene of Bosa. The left claw is crushed as you can see, don't know if because of a predation. Tips of the pinchers are restored. Sorry for the bad quality pictures, if required I will try to make better. Anyway I'm mostly looking for other prepped/unprepped crabs, but any cool fossil could interest me. If you have any crab for trade but you aren't interested in that just let me know, we could find an agree in other ways. Thanks

Is there any fellow fossil addict here that could help me to: Aligator skin plate (thats called a scute, right? ) Larger Ray dental plate No need for mint/ spectacular pieces, recognisable will do. Got some trilobite bits & bobs for trade Cheers Pat

Different fossils available for exchange. I'm looking in return for any kind of fossil that I do not already have in my collection.

Hello, I have a box with trilobites from Czech Republic, cambrium .Here are some pictures, if anyone is in for a trade, send me a pm please Postage from Belgium

I recently bought a few collections/accumulations of Mazon Creek fossils. One of them seems to have been a collection of all fauna. After sorting out all the pecopteris ferns and such, I am left with a pile of what seems to be mostly fauna. I am not very familiar with them and don't have very much time right now to figure out the classifications. So I thought maybe someone here would like to work out some sort of trade in exchange for ID'ing these nodules for me? There are shrimp, worms, maybe a few more unusual plants, and stuff I have no idea on. I think I have about 50 nodules. PM me if you are interested, thanks!

I wasn’t sure where to put this so our keepers may need to move thisnif it’s in the wrong spot. I have a Harbor Freight blast cabinet that I don’t need. It is less than a year old. I just needed something flat for my microscope. This works well with magnifying lamps and head worn magnifiers. It is worth $100 and I’d be interested in trading for a nice ammonite if anyone is interested. PM me if you want to discuss. I’m in Dallas, TX so local pick up is best but I can ship it if needed.

A while back, I received a package from our good friend Adam, better known as @Tidgy's Dad. In said package was a small plastic dinosaur that had apparently been gifted to him by none other than @JohnBrewer. This means that this little fella had started his journey in England, made his way to Morocco, and had since travelled to the United States. It was decided after careful consideration that his name was to be Gorgeous George the Globetrotting Gorgosaurus. Now he is traveling the globe spreading joy and cheer to members of TFF! If you are fortunate enough to play host to Gorgeous George, here are the rules: 1. George must be photographed in his host's collection. 2. He must then be sent to an unsuspecting TFF-er along with any trade. (You can't notify the recipient that they are getting him, he must be an unannounced visitor!) 3. He should be accompanied by a note in case the recipient is not familiar with proper Globetrotting Gorgosaurus procedure. 4. In order to increase the odds of surprising his new host, his visit photo should be uploaded only AFTER he has been received at his new temporary home. *NOTE: The hope is that in addition to having fun, this will also give members the chance to share their collections and have their prizes be seen. That being said, he must be photographed with his host collection. This does not mean that he cannot also take field trips to collecting sites and other landmarks and be photographed there as well! (Thank you to @DPS Ammonite for the suggestions!) Let's see how many miles we can put on this little plastic dino! Don't forget to have fun!

Hello, all. I am putting out the word that I am looking for basically any material that is not already on this list. If you have partials or completes, or even recognizable bits of any trilobite not on this list, I'm hoping to help clear out some space for you by taking them off your hands, lol! Just shoot me a message if you have something you're looking to part with and we will figure something out if possible! If there is just a genus listed with no specific species, then I can't ID what it is based off of what is present and wouldn't mind having a better representation anyway. Thank you all in advance!

Hello everyone. I am looking for Silurian to Devonian fossils, preferably vertebrates and especially placoderms or trilobites. I am willing to trade shark teeth like Megalodons etc.... I also have ammonites and 2 crocodile teeth from Kem Kem, and a nice serrated Abelisaurid indet tooth. Some nice Kem Kem material as well. PM me if you are interested and I will send you photos of what I am offering to trade. (P.S. I am not looking for anything amazing as what I am offering is not amazing, I am looking for something of about the same value.) Best regards, indominus rex

Hello Everyone. I have recently returned from some fossil collecting trips and have many Australian invertebrate fossils to trade. I have a large collection of sea urchins, gastropod, bryozoa and other marine invertebrates to trade. The Victorian fossils I have to trade are Miocene to Pliocene and the New South Wales fossils are Devonian and Permian. I would like in return vertebrate fossils. ( Sharks teeth, fish and shark vertebra, mammal bone, etc.) I am also happy to trade overseas. Thanks, Daniel

Hey, I would like to trade my rare 3,5cm Pararodus Benedini shark tooth. I would want to trade it for a vertebrate fossils (teeth?) or trilobites? I would also prefer a trader from Europe because I live in Europe and the shipping is more expensive ( If a trader outside Europe is willing to pay a little shipping 10-20$ he can) Here are some pictures of the tooth (It is from Antwerp,Belgium) If you are intrrested,PM me. Much appreciate it, Thomas

Hey guys! I would like to ask if someone who is from the Balkans wants to Fossil trade,or from other parts of Europe as well!

Hope someone wants to trade! Regards, Darko

Hello, Is someone interested by the fossils I want to trade? I have two nice cavemen tools from the neolithic, 1 knive and 1 scraper, I have a small trilobite(2cm), a right megalodon root part with a bit of cream-coloured tooth and serrations, and a nice pyritised ammonite. I am looking for a trader based in Europe because otherwise shipping is very expensive. Contact me if you are interested! Thomas
