PrehistoricWonders Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 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!

I will be going as I live 30 minutes away but depending on when I start my job i might have to go on the weekend which I feel like Im just getting leftovers. There is an exhibitor list on the web. I think that there will be plenty of good stuff and people are generally over quarantine lol. And people always will need to do business. https://ny-nj-gemshow.com/exhibitor-list/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I am going to be there on Friday @Familyroadtrip @Darktooth @FossilizedJello @hokietech96. Not sure what time yet though. DM me if you are going and want to meet or something. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historianmichael Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I visited the show this evening. Since only 300 people are allowed inside, including vendors, there was a wait to get inside. Once inside, the convention hall was only halfway opened because they have so few vendors. Only one vendor looked to exclusively sell fossils, and there were 5-7 vendors in total that had any fossils for sale. As in past years it was almost entirely gem and mineral vendors. While I am disappointed with what this year's show has to offer, I'm not entirely surprised due to the circumstances. 2 Follow me on Instagram (@fossil_mike) to check out my personal collection of fossils collected and acquired over more than 15 years of fossil hunting!

PrehistoricWonders Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yeah... I decided not to go cause I read the fossil vendor list and the only one I knew wasn’t going to be there. If you don’t mind me asking, what did that seller have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historianmichael Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 If my memory holds it was some form of art with animal skulls. They didn't look to be fossilized and they definitely weren't Smilodon skulls.

itsronni Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I was there yesterday. The main fossil stands were at the end and there were a few pretty cool pieces. Got a Spino tooth there which I’m hyped about, lol. This was my first time going so can’t compare the number of vendors, but it was mostly gems and minerals. Looking forward to next year when hopefully COVID isn’t around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
