Discard Pile Trades


IonRocks

Recommended Posts

A while ago a thread was made for discard pile trades, where people would trade their unwanted/common/low quality fossils they've collected in exchange for someone else's excess fossils. 

 

I have discards from the following formations that I'm willing to trade: Green River Formation, Pierre Shale, and the Wheeler Shale.

If anyone is interested, I am willing to ship over seas

Just a couple examples of what I have (low quality mass mortality triloplates, comeplete and incomplete trilobites, incomplete or unusually split knightia)

I also have a Mioplosus that split very unusually, so only the head is exposed, (because the head is much more inflated than the body)

split into three layers

 

Pierre shale I have tons of burrows (likely shrimp burrows) as well as low quality shells/or shell inflils.

 

If you are interested in anything specific, just ask for pics of them

 

im willing to trade for anything I don't already have

Hey, I might be interested in some of your fossils...

But first, I would like to ask you: what is the fossil in the first pic, top-right corner? And what are the things in the display? Finally, what are the things in the box of the second picture?

 

Thank you for the info!

Btw, I live in the Netherlands, just so you know.

In the display are mass mortality plates, there is about two layers of (poorly preserved) trilobites on those. 

 

Top right corner- I believe is just a mineral stain with a few small trilobites on the back

 

in the box is miscellaneous brachiopods/other shells/crinoid stems

 

forgot to include: I also have miscellaneous merrit creek Florida microfossils that aren't particularly interesting to me

Still got tons of Pierre shale specimens, (more shells available than before), some partial fish, micro fossils, mass mortality plates, etc

 

if anyone is interested in the mioplosus, just PM me

 

I have some larger/more complete Pierre shale shells around now, those are for trade too. (Pics coming soon)

This would be a good idea to help out a college with their collection...but shipping would have to be reimbursed. Includes trilobite pygidiums and brachiopods from Black Cat Mountain, Pennsylvanian ferns from Oklahoma, crinoid hash plates, etc.

I'm always looking for trilobites from other locations to practice prep work on. Broken/incomplete samples are always on my watch list. Let me know if you're interested in any Penn Dixie material. (Eldredgeops rana, Greenops boothi bits, corals, crinoid segments, brachs, etc.)
