Henrico Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 So I'm visiting Canada(Alberta) for a while and came across this store that sold gemstones and fossils. I decided to buy a few fossils(chambered ammonites, orthoceras, trilobite elrathia kingii, Trilobite proetus) but when I got to my rental place I came to the realisation that these might be illegal to take with me back home. I'm from South Africa. Will it be a problem if I take them home with me or do I require some kind of permit to bring them with me on the flight home?

Kane Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The fossils you describe are not originally from Alberta, and are commonly sold in fossil shops worldwide. Unless there are import laws for South Africa, there would be no problem in leaving Canada with them. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Hang on to the invoice/bill of sale in case customs people ask for it. As Kane said, none of the species come from Alberta and there should not be any problem. Oh and welcome to the Forum! Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
