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

Odd trade- my carnivorous plants for your partial fossil fish
Fishkeeper posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Edit: as thanks to @caldigger for donating some fossils, I'll be sending some of these plants to anyone who wants some. Just post here or PM. Not sure if this sort of trade is even allowed, but here goes. I'm looking for some partial fish fossils, not yet cleaned off, that I can practice preparation on. By "partial" I mean broken in half, missing heads or tails, or otherwise not intact, though preferably not ones where the matrix around them is shattered and there's no way to clean them off without ending up with the fish mostly in loose flakes. I don't have any good fossils to trade, but I do have Venus flytraps. They're not hard to keep if you know what you're doing- minerals and fertilizers are toxic to them and they need very strong sunlight. You pot them in sphagnum moss (like people put orchids in), and you give them rainwater, distilled water, or RO water. To get them enough light, you keep them outdoors. Put 'em in a pot (not clay, it has minerals), set the pot in a shallow dish of safe water to keep the moss lightly moist, and that's it. They go dormant in the winter, and you just leave them outside for that unless you live in a part of the world where it's cold enough that the pot would freeze solid for days on end. If it's that cold, you bring them inside somewhere, like into a garage, to keep them a bit warmer. They divide while dormant, so they'll multiply, and they can get up to 5" tall with some very nice coloration inside the traps. They catch bugs on their own, but you can feed them bugs if you want, just don't give them meat. I also have babies of an orchid called Lepanthes gargoyla, which is a neat little orchid that's pretty easy to grow in terrariums. Place it in a terrarium with the roots tied to something that stays wet, something like a bundle of moss on a ranch, give it indirect sunlight or some sort of artificial light, keep the root anchor damp and the humidity fairly high around it, and watch it grow. Needs to be a terrarium at least 8" tall so it has room to sprawl once it starts growing the long, pendant leaves that flower. The flytrap pot I'd be pulling from. They aren't fully grown yet. I also have some baby plants with much brighter red inside the traps. That sprawling purple plant is the orchid. It has a ton of leaves tucked up behind the red bromeliad at the top, that's just to keep it from getting light-burned. This is a flowering size adult, the babies are all pretty small, and I don't know how long it'll take them to grow to this size. Once it does hit this size, though, it sprouts off babies pretty regularly from off the ends of the flowering-leaf stems. -
I know I'm not the only one that doesn't live near good fossil deposits, which means that i'm not the only one that has to buy or trade fossils from time to time to build the collection. I thought it would be fun to have an ongoing thread to share our latest great score that we didn't personally find in nature, a thread to share your latest fossil purchase or trade. Let's see what you found at the local fossil show, online or anywhere else other than in the ground.

Looking to Trade Meteorites for North American Dinosaurs
connorp posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hey all. I'm a long time meteorite collector but have decided to shift over to the fossil world at the moment. I have several hundred meteorites I would be willing to trade, and I'm looking for any North American dino material, preferably theropod. Also would be interested in spiny trilos. For those just looking for something cool, I have several lunar and martian specimens available. I also have several very nice HEDs (from the asteroid 4 Vesta) and other asteroidal achondrites, plus some interesting chondrites. Now, if you haven't collected meteorites before, you might think "come on Connor, how the heck do you know those are actual meteorites?" Well, most of the specimens I have are classified and come directly from the owners or otherwise very reputable dealers. And how can you check this? Just look at the MetBull (https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/), which is a database of information on every single classified meteorite in the world. Quite different than the fossil world! Here's a few photos of specimens I have available. I have plenty others so if you're interested in anything in particular, just let me know. \

It's getting near to December, but this year we are going to start early in hopes of getting everyone's package out on time Please be sure to read all instructions and follow the rules to make it easy on Raptor Lover and I Here's how it works: Anyone who would like to participate must comment in this thread. All you have to include in the comment is wether you are willing to ship internationally, or US only. You must also create a group PM including Raptor Lover and I, stating your address. This year, I am coding a short script to get our Secret Santa's as close to random as possible, but still respect international/US only requests Please Keep the fossils you are sending at a value of about $30 I highly encourage sending self collected fossils (if you have those available, for these seem to be more likely provide people with something they don't all ready have. I think everyone would enjoy having their packages arrive before the holidays, so you will have until December 1st to respond to this topic, and message us your address. Once you receive you package, please post the contents here so everyone can see but keep in mind, it is a SECRET Santa

Currently slimming down the collection and offloading some excess trilobites to make room for others. Looking for Ordovician or Devonian trilobites I don't yet have. Pictured here are three Devonian bugs, of which I have numerous examples. These are not rare specimens, but ideal for those who want a specimen example from areas that they cannot collect from, and who cannot necessarily afford museum quality examples. Left: A mostly complete Greenops widderensis from the Widder Formation, Middle Devonian. Ideal for prep practice. Right: Pygidium of the dalmanatid Anchiopsis anchiops. Thorax is rarely found, and complete ones are as scarce as hen's teeth. Bois Blanc Fm, Lower Devonian. Bottom: Prep practice delight. Complete semi-prone Eldredgeops rana with pygidium tucked underneath. Windom shale of PD, Middle Devonian. I can entertain more than one trade offer as I do have other examples of these I can part with. * Shipping within North America preferred. * I reserve the "right" to pad the trade package you'll receive with other assorted Devonian items. I like to add bonus stuff.

Hi all, I am looking to obtain some more brachiopods for in my collection, mostly because I think that it's a fascinating group of animals. Unfortunately, I do not have many of them. Therefore I'm asking the help of you all! This is what I want: Brachiopods (spiriferid or not) from any continent (preferably not from Europe) from the Paleozoic. I don't need a lot, just a few different ones to widen my collection! Having from many different locations would be nice too. I already have the following though, and as to avoid having duplicates I am not interested in these: Platystrophia from Maysville (KY, USA) Punctopsirifer from Beckenridge (TX, USA) Terebratula perforata from Kaloot (NL) Cyrtospirifer verneuilli from Barvaux-sur-Ourthe (BE) Atrypa reticularis from Eifel (DE) Cererithyris and Kallirhynchia from Lion-sur-Mer (FR) If you have one of those species (but from another location), I'm still interested! Or if you have other species but from the same location, same goes! What I don't want is to have the same species from the same location. In return, I have a selection of different (mainly) European fossils, ranging from shark teeth to seashells (and a few brachiopods ), and many other things. I also have several fossils from closed locations! If you're looking for anything specific yourself, then you can always ask me and I'll see what I have. If you're interested and have anything to propose, please send a PM! Thanks in advance! Max PS: for international shippers, make sure that the shipping costs to the Netherlands are not too high. I'm willing to ship to anywhere, but I just want to make sure that this is both ways! (No Track & Code needed; no signing needed; no priority needed; envelope is better)

Hi guys! I would like to ask if anybody wants to trade fossils with me if he is from Europe. For other questions about fossil trades send me pm! Thanks Darko

I think that I've mentioned in the past that I occasionally do some prep work for a British paleontologist in exchange for some of his raw finds for my own collection which I get to work on myself. Well, another parcel arrived yesterday full of things to do for him and also a few ammonites for myself. I was particularly pleased to see the one pictured below, so pleased that I just had to put my preparation work on my own Callovian finds on hold in order to get this one prepped right away. It's a complete Stephanoceras humpresianum from the type horizon in Dorset with the end peristome at the aperture.

Hello all, Despite three years of 'slimming down my collection' (no such thing has remotely occurred--the end goal is a nicer collection but fewer pieces), I am pretty slim on fossil literature! I am looking to expand my library, and I am happy to trade for books--I will look into purchasing them, but ideally I can hit two birds one stone . I am mainly looking for books on paleozoic invertebrates, but I would take a look at anything! English, Spanish, and Russian (my' edem v Rossiyu, leto 2018!), but English is primarily what I'm hunting. To trade, I have a little bit of everything--trilobites, fish, ammonites, ferns, and plenty more, with the exceptions of dinosaur material and shark teeth. If you're looking for something specific I will let you know what I have and send pictures your way . Reese

Hi. Does anyone have any Mazon creek fossils to trade? I'm mainly interested in non plant fossils. I have many different fossils to trade. If you have anything to trade please let me know what you would like and I'll let you know if I have any of them to trade. Thanks, Daniel

Greetings, after collecting and buying fossils for a few years and getting out of space at my home for all of them I have realized that it could be a good idea to exchange them for other fossils (I have dozens of ammonites for all around the world, brachiopods and micraster and pecten from spain) so my question is, do you know somewehere on internet to exchange fossils? Is it possible to exchange them here? Thank you very much.

Hey everyone, Though they may not be very impressive specimens for most of you (especially the sharkteeth collectors), I am still extremely happy with my 2 new additions to my collection: I got my most complete Notorhynchus tooth till now, one with all the cusps present and a majority of the root; and also my very first MEGALODON TOOTH!!! Yes, I didn't have a single megalodon tooth in my collection till now, though I have been collecting for over 7 years. And even though they are both rather small teeth, the megalodon being a posterior tooth too, I am still extremely glad with them. In fact, there is a Dutch proverb that fits this situation perfectly: "klein maar fijn" (small but nice). Both teeth come from the Calvert Cliffs (Miocene). I got them in a trade with the amazing Dave @Darktooth, with whom I have had a great chat thanks to this forum! Therefore: thank you Dave!!! Best regards, Max

Just cleaning storage and found 2 digital microscopes for trade. I would like to broaden my knowledge and will consider any fossil or extant material, or other items related to nature. Please PM me your offers #1: It works very well, the focus ring is smooth, so focusing is easy and takes little time. However, it's resolution is not ideal, at just 640x480 pixels, or 0.3MP. The closer you put the lens to an object, the bigger the magnification will be. Lift the microscope higher and the magnification will be lower, and you will be able to fit more things in the picture. If you let it touch the table, the field of view is about 12.5mm. This is almost the highest magnification, but if you fit something inside the cone to place your microfossil on, it will get even closer to the lens, so the field of view will be smaller and the magnification will be higher. For example, here is a picture taken by the microscope of a 2mm foram, with the foram on the table and the cone touching the table: And here is the same foram elevated inside the cone:

Hi all! I am looking for fossil insects for trade. Any location is fine, and basically any insect is fine! I would prefer whole or nearly whole specimens though. If you have any for trade (except for Ephemeroptera or insects in amber; those are the only two I already have.), please PM me! Europe shipping preferred, but worldwide is fine too. In return, I have many different things (sharkteeth, ray teeth, fish teeth, bivalves, coral, etc.), so in your PM just say what you are looking for in return. Best regards and happy hunting! Max
