My jaws are gonna go through the floor if you post any more pics man!

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

You mostly see theropod teeth from the Hell Creek, Morisson, Judith River and Morocco all your standard species. Most dealers just bring high value teeth with the exception of Indiana9fossils and Natural Canvas who bring everything that is on their websites. You see very little from other countries with an occasional tooth from France.

Great pics... Just left Hotel Tucson and the Ramada a few extra bugs heavier.. off to 22nd St now. No matter how many times you visit the shows it's always an overwhelming experience.

Todays journey takes me back to the same three hotels. Lets start with the 22nd street show.

The first item up for sale is a Jurassic dinosaur from the Morrison formation and the largest theropod of the period a Torvosaurus. So if you have some extra millions its a great place to hang out. Its the most complete specimen ever found at a 65% bone count. The rooted tooth shown below is the largest ever found from this species and found with the skull its measures 9 inches long.

Lots of meteorite dealers attend the shows, some of the best in the world.

One dealer was selling this huge but beautiful 200kg specimen for only $50,000

post-10935-0-22122900-1454205735_thumb.jpg

Lots for everyone at the Shows

Minerals everywhere, probably the biggest part of the shows.

Hi,

That piece from the Green River with the Fish and the Palm is a beauty, you know how much they were asking for that one?

Only $17K but the price is negotiable :D
