Adam86cucv Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I stumbled upon this company online in a Google search. They appear to have a variety of fossil and geological items for sale. I however have never bought from them so I can't speak on how they are to deal with. UKGE Books link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I dont realy know of fossil booksellers, but If you like fossil books related to the UK I recomend the publications of " The Palaeontological Association" they've got an online shop: https://www.palass.org/publications They've got fantastic field guides 1 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Thanks While books are no doubt helpful for general knowledge, scientific papers are usually more help when it comes to specific fossils or localities. Figure out what you are looking for, then google that with PDF after the search term. For example: "Paleontology Green River Formation PDF. " That gives me these results: Lots of useful information in these types of papers. While some are open access, though, ... others can be behind Paywalls. (pay, usually a LOT of money, to download) Google Scholar can be a helpful tool as well.
