where can you buy unprepped fossils?

I would like to see where to get on prep fossils. I bought a fish on eBay one time but it seems like I'm having a hard time hitting the right key words in the search field to find any fossils once again. Any ideas on where to find unsplit slabs and unprepped specimens?

That kind of depends on what kind of fossils you are looking for.

Sometimes contacting sellers on eBay is a good way to get unprepared fossils.

You can also post in the member sales or trades area for what you want.

Regards,

EDIT: This is what came up when I searched for "unprepared fossils".

You can buy trilobite-bearing shale from the U-Dig quarry: LINK

There is also Florissant Shale you can buy from the Quarry.

Leaves, insects, plants and more rarely fish... and spiders.

Call them, as they are not terribly responsive to e-mails.

Regards.
