  1. A few weeks ago I, along with the Vancouver Paleontological Society hosted a large table display at the annual BC Rock and Gem Show in Chilliwack! Every year I am invited to educate the public at this three day event. British Columbia's lower mainland lacks museums that have local fossils on display which is very unfortunate due to the high diversity of important and spectacular fossil sites in the area! I make sure to cover as much as I can at these shows and events, especially on the Burgess Shale (since it is so incredible and most people don't even know the site is in our Provence). This year was special as I was a part of the research and naming of Hainosaurus boubker, a new species of mosasaur most of you are now familiar with! I had the chance to share it at the show and really thank all the amazing people that have helped bring it to life! Our study was funded by the Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences’ Charles H. Sternberg Scholarship for vertebrate fossil research and without their support, our study would not have been possible! Huge thank you to the members of the AAPS! Photo 1: Multiple table booth with parts of my personal collection which I have geared over the years to be presentable to the public for education! Photo 2: Dan Bowden, Brennan Martens and John Fam of the VanPS along with a life sized Hainosaurus boubker banner! Photo 3: I am setting up a Burgess Shale themed section of table containing specimens from Utah and China! Photo 4: John Fam, Dan Bowden and Brennan Martens with John Fam's two display cases filled with fossils (ammonites, decapods, bivalves) from Vancouver Island Photo 5: My two display cases with Burgess Shale themed plushies and a special Hainosaurus boubker feature highlighting the many artists and collaborators involved with the project!
  2. Hi everyone! For those of you who live in or close to the Netherlands: on April 22nd 2023, the PaleoTime-NL International Fossil Event will be held again, this year in the town of Houten, The Netherlands. This show is the biggest paleontological event in the Netherlands, a meeting between amateur and professional paleontologists, for the exchange of knowledge, experiences and fossils, or just a day to meet like-minded people. There are informative lectures, prep demo's and many more activities. For more information, see the website www.paleotime.nl Is anyone of you guys going? Cheers, Johan

    Fossil Fest 2023

    Just wanted to share information on the Fossil Fest near Summerville. I haven't been before, so I'm not sure how it is.
  4. Here is a quick write up on the 2022 MAPS (Mid America Paleontological Society) Fossil Show. The hotel show started on Wednesday, the day I arrived and the actual show at the Orr Building on the Fairgrounds property started this morning (Friday) and continues until Sunday afternoon. This is the second year that the show has been held in Springfield and the venue (Hotel and Orr Building) are so much nicer that years past in Iowa City. The show is not that as big as in years past, and maybe with the new venue it will once again be the size it was when it was held in the Main building at Western Illinois University- Macomb. I know it is billed as the largest “all fossil show”, but in my opinion, I feel that they should open it up to gems / minerals. I think the added clientele will add a shot in the arm to the show, and the dealers will see an increase in sales from the added foot traffic, that will lead to an increase in impulse / curiosity buying- but that is just my opinion. Now on with the pictures. I did take pictures of a lot of fossils, but I will only post the pictures that do not show prices. Besides myself, other FF members that were in attendance were @stats , @fiddlehead, @Roby , @RCFossils , @ParkerPaleo and @crinus. I know there were other members there and if I missed you, I apologize. Here is Tim (ParkerPaleo) And here is Rich (Stats) 2nd from the left and Jack (Fiddlehead) far right. A White River Saber Cat - I took a number of more pics at the hotel show and the main venue, but to edit the pics to hide the prices is just too long of a process. The show had a small area for kids to search for fossils, there were a couple of presentations that took place during the show, there was a live auction and after the show closed, the was a talk at the hotel location, which is only 8 minutes away. After the show, there was another lecture that was held at the hotel (Northfield Inn an Conference Center). I will again head there in the morning to see if any other vendors show up. If you have not been to this show, I would recommend it and maybe the increased presence will be the jump start that I think it needs. On the next post, I will have pics of some of the fossils / books that I purchased at the hotel show and main show.

    Unidentified Kem Kem bone

    Got this kem kem bone at the denver show. What do you guys think? Longest length is about 23 centimeters. Any ideas @Troodon and everyone else? zz

    Fossil show trilobite #2

    Moroccan trilobite with no further info given. Fossil show find, looks real, but IDK?
  7. Really beefed up my collection this year: Amber: Spent a while with my trusty loupe combing through Chiapas amber sold by the gram and found a very uncommon flower petal. The seller took a moment to offer up a page on his phone about the healing properties of amber, and he gave me a polite nod and laugh when I said I'm more interested in the scientific properties. I like dead stuff. Big Claw: Always wanted a thick beefy claw! Labeled as a Carch claw from Kem Kem but after reading some of @Troodon's posts it could be a Spino or generic theropod. Really love the shape of this thing. Crab: Unfortunately about 20% of the crab's lil' butt was crushed sometime between purchasing and driving home. He's so delicate. There's a nice interior view of the underside of the carapace now, though. Any info about this guy would be appreciated! Skinny Theropod Claw: A little rough around the edges but I was really drawn to the curvature and sharpness of this one. Labeled as just "theropod" so I'm not sure if it's possible to tell what it's from. I can post more photos for identification.
  8. I've waited two years through this pandemic to go again and I'm PUMPED. Is Friday 8/20 or Saturday 8/21 the better day to go, from your experience? Specifically going there for vertebrate and amber fossil purchases. (Talking about https://nj.show/ if that helps)

    Snake Vertebrae Column id

    Hello, I bought this snake vertebrae column from a conference building hosting a fossil and mineral show. This fossil didn't have a nametag telling the species and genus of the snake (most fossils at the show had a nametag). I forget where they said the snake verts were from (or if they said the location at all). I think they might have said Morocco. It's hard to scale because it's in a frame behind glass, but all the vertebrae are around 1 inch. I know it might be hard to identify without the head, so I may just be looking like an idiot expecting it's species to be identified. But if someone can identify the species of these verts, please tell me your thoughts. sorry if photo quality is bad. any help is appreciated
  10. The fossil show started yesterday. If you are into minerals, beads and junk lots of opportunity to have fun. However if you are into Fossils especially dinosaurs and shark, as expected, its been very disappointing. Lots of key dealers in these areas are a no show although a couple are around. This is the ballroom at the Tucson City Center Hotel. Empty and not one fossil to be seen. Only one small dealer with Green River teeth and another with Trilobites is the extent of fossils to be had. For the first time since the show moved to this venue parking was not an issue; Only photo I took at this venue The 22nd Street Show was busy with non fossil items Nice Tail

    Tucson Fossil Show News

    It appears that the Tucson fossil show will happen, but greatly reduced, with a scheduled start on April 8th. The Governor in Arizona also just dropped all Covid 9 restrictions but I'm not sure Tucson's mayor supports or will follow that call. From what I can see its not the best year to come to the show with lots of venues canceled and many dealers will be a no show. What to expect: Big changes were already expected this year with the Arizona Mineral and Fossil Show moving from the Tucson City Center Hotel (TCC) to the El Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort 10 miles away. However this show has been canceled and I'm not sure if any of those dealers will go back to the Tucson City Center Hotel for this year. Despite the move of the Arizona Show the TCC will have a show (The Big Gem Show) with about 60 dealers but only few fossil dealers on the dealer listing. The Black Hill Institute will not be at this venue and has permanently moved to the Marketplace venue but it appears they will be a no show this year among many others https://www.thebiggemshow.com/floorplan The 22nd Street Show will continue as normal but it continues to see an exodus of fossil dealers to other venues. Parking remains a mess https://22ndstreet.show/ The Days Inn show with the bulk of fossil dealers has not posted a dealer listing and looks like a cancellation. They have many international dealers. The Marketplace place show has been canceled but a couple of fossil dealers will be present. https://mfmshow.com/ Not sure about the other venues or if the Moroccan tent venues will be around. https://jogsshow.com/tucson-gem-show-schedule/ All of this is subject to change and it's a wait and see approach to see who actually shows up.

    Tucson Fossil Show News

    George F. Winters of the Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences (AAPS) just posted this on Facebook. The guide has been very useful to those attending the show. Tucson has yet to put any restrictions on the different fossil venues other than cancelling the Convention Center Gem and Mineral show . If I hear anything will post it. Travel restrictions may be the biggest impediment for dealers to participate and visitors to attend.

    NJ gem, mineral, and fossil show

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone was going to the NJ gem, mineral, and fossil show... I’m considering going, but I wouldn’t be super interested if there aren’t many fossil dealers, I was also wondering if anyone knows how many dealers are going to be there. TIA!

    Tucson 2019 Pictures

    So I got back from Tucson a few days ago and thought I'd post some pictures for all to see! Pictures got downloaded out of order when I had to shrink the size to make them compatible for the forum. Sorry I can't ID everything for you guys like @Troodon did last year. Enjoy! Let's start with my favorite topic... eggs! French Eggs: A perfect and complete raptor nest from China: A very rare and complete elephant bird egg from Madagascar: Duck Egg:

    FOSSILMANIA XXXVII

    Hey y'all! Just a reminder that the 37th annual Fossilmania will be hosted again this year in Glen Rose during the weekend of October 25-27,2019. There will be many neat events including a guided trip to see the nearby dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park. Admission is free as always and hope to see ya'll there! The Dallas Paleontological Society is again running this event.
  18. UPDATED WITH PICTURES FROM THE SHOW For those of you in or near the Western Suburbs of Chicago this weekend, you should try and stop by the Kane County Fairgrounds located at 525 S. Randall Road in St. Charles, Illinois. The 43rd Chicagoland Gem, Mineral And Fossil Show will take place on Saturday (10a-6p) and Sunday (10a-5p). This is a really great and large show and I am sure you would find something that would interest you. For pics from last years show check out a post of mine from 5-26-18 titled CGMA (Chicago Gem–Mineral Association) 42nd Annual Show. If you can’t make it, I will most likely be posting pictures of the show later Saturday evening.
  19. Hi everyone!

    Tucson show questions

    I am thinking of attending a Tucson fossil show this year. Could someone please share recommendations as to which days/which shows would be the best to attend? (I can be there for 2 days max) My primary interests are reptiles, dinosaurs and sharks.
