oldtimer Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 All I can say for the first preview of the show is WOW! I have been trying to find a way to fit the show into my schedule over the next few weeks. Now I have to find a way. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Appreciate all the replys, enjoy getting the feedback. Its a pretty cool show with only a few doors open. A majority of dealers in these two venues will be open on Wed with the 22nd Street show opening their large tents on Thursday as well as the big ballroom at the Tucson Hotel. AND let's not forget all the other venues around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Today there was a significantly larger amount of dealers working hard to get set up. Only a few new ones opened but activity is definitely at a peak. I will start off my photos again at the Tucson Hotel. The photos I take are primarily from fossils dealers since this is a fossil site but the majority of dealers at this venue are mineral from every continent in the world. The specimens they have are incredible and worth just visiting the show if that's your area of interest. You would need days just to check them out. Now on to more important subjects fossils Tucson Hotel One of the largest Tronychidae turtles to come out of the Green River Formation, Wyoming an unbelievable specimen as big as a person 6ft long. The photo do not do it justice. Another unbelievable specimen from the same quarry and worth just going to the show to see is this Eocene horse called "The Dawn Horse" collected in 2003. It was examined by the Chicago Field Museum for study but the owner and Museum could not come to terms on a sale. its about the size of a midsize dog. Very complete. Same quarry a Garfish Always room for Kem Kem material A Croc vert Sauropod and Pterosaur teeth Theropod Teeth Canada Fossils always brings an extraordinary number of large ammonites. These are outside the ballroom where they reside its still closed. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Wow, truly amazing things!

Troodon Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 At the Ramada some Russian Bugs that were super pricey but incredible in person. My basic camera did not do a good job with all the harsh cabinet lighting and glass. So here are a few that were on display to be sold, just a few.... A lot of the european dealers do not let you take pictures so I was fortunate with this one. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahorse I asked that question and when it was studied a number of theories came out, one include a large Bird "eagle" had it and dropped it in flight. Another more plausible was it was just caught in a flood and washed in a river bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
