Word on the streets of Wyoming is he had asked 2 million for the horse and was now asking a single mil.  

 

It is a great mystery as to how these mammals (there are only a small handful) get out into the lake beds.  I think washing in from a local river is the best answer.  Another mystery... there are many more birds known form the Green River Fm, but most of them are NOT water birds.  Forest birds.  Why so many forest birds and so few water birds?  

 

Take a look at the Messel outcrop. Most of vertebrates fossils are not water vertebrates. Sometimes was an effusion of gas from the Messel lake and killed all the vertebrates around

At the Ramada being sold by In Stone Fossils from Wyoming is this spectacular huge crocodile from the Green River Formation.  If you are attending the show its a must stop but be careful it bites  :D Beautifully preserved.

How flexible are most dealers on price? Do you always bargain a bit troodon?

They are all different but always try to bargin.  If you are dealing with the Morrocans especially in a tent it's a must and hard and be willing to show them you will walk away even if you don't.  Most dealers give you something off but it's less at the beginning of the show than at the end?  No one wants to go home with product. Some are firm and don't bargin, and over the years you get to know them.

 

On a side note few dealers deal with credit cards but most all take checks and cash is king.  Some will do PayPal.  Best to deal in cash with tent dealers

Thank you again for the continued posting of pics comments.  Those specimens that you picked up are so cool.

I hope to be able to make it to this show the first part of next week.  You are slowly persuading me that this is a must see show.

Interesting day today with the 22nd Street Show opening and having access to the dealers at this venue.   Not a lot of good feedback by other attendees and turning into mostly a trinket show with a few key fossil dealers still at this venue.  BUT it is still must see for the few good fossil dealers that are there.  Tent got even bigger, lots of walking, parking is no longer free $3.00 each visit

 

The Show
