fossilized6s Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'm looking to better my skills in prepping, repairing and restoring. I'm looking for unprepped material. Trilobites, Ammonites, crabs, etc. I have a lot of Mazon material for trade and some other stuff I'm willing to let go. I'll take some pictures when I get home (I'm on vacation). I would like to get my hands on Trilobites, as I don't have many in my collection. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pocock Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi as per usual I have some Whitby ammonites in limestone if you are interested no way to tell what you will get, they range in size from 1" to 2 1/2" possibly some with more than 1 ammonite in them. I recently posted some to US and it isn't as expensive as I thought only cost £5 ($7:50) Nothing exciting but willing to send you some.

Raggedy Man Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) We really need to get you out trilobite hunting. You should attend the St.Paul Indiana trip this October. It's amazing.

Harry Pristis Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I have a few Moroccan trilobites still in the little blocks of matrix. These were selected by a pro from a pile of 'em for interest, completeness, and ease of prep for an inexperienced bug-prepper (me). I never got interested once I got them here. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IonRocks Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I would also be interested in unprepared material. Although I don't really have anything good for trade though. If anybody has something they just wanna get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they're exactly what I'm looking for, but I am interested. It would be tough to trade with someone that has everything. Hahaha! I can't afford to purchase any fossil material at the moment. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaforth Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hello Charlie If you dont have many trilobites I will be happy to send you one of my nicer trilobite tails I find here. They're small but pretty rare species and I have loads that I dug personally. Will be happy to send you one just for fun, got some nice ones to spare. Dont need anyhing in return. You sent me such a nice bunch a while back :-) If the ones Harry is offering you are not your cup of tea, let me know as I have been looking for some Moroccan prep jobs myself for a while now. Have a great holiday. You deserve it after your recent nightmares. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I have loads of ammo material from the pierre shale, but I only trade for unprepped crabs. That's a tuff one. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to get out this Fall and finally find my own Trilobites. I have loads of ammo material from the pierre shale, but I only trade for unprepped crabs.

I'm hoping to get out this Fall and finally find my own Trilobites. Found a complete trilo couple days ago which is unworldly rare on that locality. Been hitting that place hard for the last 3 years but only managed to find 3 more or less complete ones amongst the huge amount of tails & frags in all those years. So I am well pleased with that. So, you want one of them tiny tails? PM me your adress :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pocock Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Hi Charlie, I don't know just something that is different from what I have maybe something like a tooth of some sort, or anything you think is a fair trade, I have never traded anything before. I wont just send you 1 though I have a bout 5 that you can have and all are similar to the picture, at lease 1 will be a double.
