Triceratops Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have been browsing round the internet recently in search of good fossil dealers. One site which has caught my eye is Dino Fossils UK, has anyone ever brought fossils from them and did you have any problems. I would love to know! Thanks. -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triceratops Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks. I have browsed around Indiana 9 fossils before, shipping to NZ is expensive though. -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triceratops Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks. I will have a look at that website:-) -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yes, indiana9fossils.com has an excellent reputation. He has a great display of specimens for sale at one of the Tucson shows. You should also check out thenaturalcanvas.com - very knowledgeable and established dealer as well. I have been browsing round the internet recently in search of good fossil dealers.

MgTattooer86 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I have purchased a lot from Indiana9, nothing but good to say about them. If you show them a transitional, they'll ask for two more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepTimeIsotopes Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Anybody know any other sellers? Is fossilera reputable?

Troodon Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Anybody know any other sellers? Is fossilera reputable? I've dealt with this dealer and have had no issues. Let me add a note about all the, what I call generalist dealers, and that is they are not experts in everything they sell. They simply pass on to you the buyer what they are told and it may not necessarily be correct all of the time. The buyer needs to be knowledgeable in what he is buying. Edit: A reputable dealer is also one willing to accept a return for cash, not store credit, if you find out the item is different than described.

Mrteacherdude Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 http://davesrockshop.com/are overpriced but trustworthy in terms of their content. The owners discovered the Jeletzyka Douglassae, one of the earliest fossil squids, and have a pretty cool museum in their shop basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: A reputable dealer is also one willing to accept a return for cash, not store credit, if you find out the item is different than described. I'd like to think we are pretty reputable We are fairly new dealer having only been in business a year and a half but have shipped over 5,000 orders with some pretty good customer reviews/feedback. https://www.ekomi-us.com/review-fossilera.html We strive to be as upfront as possible about any restoration on the specimens we sell. We'll take returns for any reason within 2 weeks delivery and at anytime if the buyer believes we misrepresented the authenticity or information surrounding a specimen (we've never had a return for this reason). As the commenter noted being a "generalist dealer" it's impossible to know everything about every specimen. We do have to rely on information provided by suppliers and third party experts, but do our best to verify it. If I don't have complete confidence in a particular identification, I try to make note of it in the description. Mistakes in identification do happen occasionally despite our best efforts but that's one reason we will accept a return at anytime if there is any issue over it.
