Interesting things to look at! Thanks for posting. The prices... are a little ehm, different from what I'm used to seeing. Stay away from that 'Hyphalosaurus', btw. It's not real. But I'm sure you knew that.

Thanks- not interested in that piece.

My only purchase of the day- I do like trackways and this did look legit and I like the nomenclature on the back. Tim @Fossildude19 you might be able to confirm that these are Rynchosauroides tracks from the Triassic Granton Quarry in North Bergen, New Jersey. I did see a post of you collecting from this site. If true, do you recognize the name of the collector? 

 

Hey Ralph, 

Sorry, just saw this. 

 

I would say that they are Rhynchosauroides sp. tracks.

And the matrix looks right for Granton.  Nice find and acquisition.

Congratulations. :)

This is an amazing association piece.  The Trimerus cephalon is 3x the size of the Dalmanites.  Go back and get it! :drool:

Well I took @piranha advice and went back to the CGMA Show this morning and picked up this piece. I was happy that it was still there and it was in the center of the sellers area and a lot most people stayed away from there. Here is a nice plate from the Middle Silurian of New York containing a large cephalon of Trimerus delphinocephalu and a complete Dalmanites limulurus. Thanks again for the advice, it is a showy piece.

Stunning Ralph. Good advice to be taken.

That is one huge cephalon!

Happy hunting,

This is another cool one I have admired before. Do you recall what they go for?

Kim, as an FYI, when I was at the show today I checked the price on this item and it was $89.00.

Great pictures!  Judging by your pictures, your visit was much more complete than mine!

 

Cheers,
