Georgemckenzie Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hiya recently started collecting this year and my collection is starting to build up looking for ideas for inexpensive ways to bulk my collection out a little if anyone could help it would be appreciated thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatFossilBoy Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hey my first recommendation would be fossils from Morocco such as spinosaurus,carcharodontosaurus,plesiosaur,mosasaur,trilobites and shark teeth fossils if you‘re simply looking to buy. We all started there and it’s a great way to have very nice examples for very cheap. You can also buy big megalodon teeth from the US. Other option is to go hunt for yourself!

Kane Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Going out collecting firsthand in fossiliferous areas. When it comes to collection size, a good number of us here have the opposite problem! 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the question is, what are you really interested in, @Georgemckenzie? How many fossils can your home "carry" ? 5 minutes ago, Kane said: Going out collecting firsthand in fossiliferous areas. Nothing compares to self-found fossils (in my opinion). But that´s a matter of taste (edit: And location, of course!). Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF7_Yuffie Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'll send you a pm. Got a few sellers perfect for beginner collections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplomado Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Green River fossil fish a good value. Madagascar ammonites are a fantastic value; the only problem is that the large majority have been artificially processed in some way (some more than others). Medium to small megalodon teeth are affordable and fun. I like buying fossils, but ones you find have a sentimental value that doesn't match the $ value. Probably the best fossil I have found is worth $15, but I am very proud of it. I would try that if at all possible. Why don't you tell us what you are interested in? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
