Nimravis Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Today I visited the E.S.C.O.N.I. (Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois) 2017 Show, being held thru Sunday (3-25-17) at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, Illinois. The show is not very big, but it is free and a great place for families to come with future paleontologists or rock collectors, as they have a number of things for kids to do. There were 2 vendors present that 95% of their items were fossils and the other vendors had a few fossils, but mostly rocks and minerals. Below are some pics of the fossils that were for sale as well as a couple pics of display cases containing fossils to look at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrian Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Love the leaves with the associated flies! Those are some high quality fossils! No rock or fossil shows near me. 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- John I had a friend once, but the wheels fell off.

smt126 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I took the family there as well Saturday. We went later as we went to the field museum first. I bid a little on the live and silent auctions. I only won some random rocks, no fossils. My kids had a blast in the kids section and they bought a bunch of common fossils from the kids table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
