Troodon Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 A few dealers opened today at the Tucson City Center Inns Suite hotel. Lots of activity in all the rooms getting set up. I did find out that the main ballroom which typically opens the show on Saturday will open this year on Thursday. Lots of pressure from dealers to open earlier to be consistent with the 22nd Street Show. My interest is dinosaurs and shark material so visited Moussa from the UK. A very honest and a super supplier of items from Morocco. A few photos I also had an opportunity to get into a dealer while he was setting up and had an early peak at a riker of theropod teeth from Uzbekistan most likely Alectrosaurus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Mud Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks for sharing! I could see that you could quickly run out of $$$ and have to pace yourself. Some mighty fine sokolovi shark teeth there! Nice to see a real skull too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yes pacing is important but if you pass on something nice it's likely it will be gone when you go back. For those going to the show don't forget to get a directory in the lobby on the Tucson Hotel and Ramada which shows all the dealers associated with Marty Zinn's shows not the 22nd St one.

Troodon Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Wow! Beautiful specimens. Are all these fossils authentic? Just curious. Yes authentic, Moussa is a major high end supplier of moroccan material and you will see most dealers in there restocking their inventory. They also have a great relationship with lots of paleontologists from around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this will pay out for him. Think it was around 3800 Thanks. I saw The Natural Canvas's banner, were those fossils in the 19th post from him?

Troodon Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks. I saw The Natural Canvas's banner, were those fossils in the 19th post from him?
