Manticocerasman Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 On Sunday December the 1st we attended to a fossil fair close to our home, it was a 15 minute drive to the town of Harelbeke where the event took place. It was the fair of the “Litos” geology club with a multitude of stands, from local collectors to professional sellers. Natalie helped at the entrance of the fair where free raffle tickets were given to the visitors to attend to a tombola. There were a few stands that sold old collection lots, here I bought 2 boxes of Albian ammonites for a very good price. for the record, Harelbeke is situated here : A few guidlines for the sellers: Pictures of the fair: My acquisitions: 12 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

FossilDAWG Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 That show is vastly better (for fossils) than anything we have in the Atlanta Georgia area. I would have been in heaven looking for ammonites and urchins! Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey P Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Some impressive stuff there. Are the ammonites in the last few pictures the ones you bought? If so, you did quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are, it is a bunch of phosphated Albian ammonites from France. a few just need a quick kleenup, but I'll have to prepp the center on most of them.

So we got the same species here. 1 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
