Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Does anyone know of any specialist fossil booksellers

Preferably UK based, and with an online presence.

 

Thanks

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.

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 :)

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. 

 

Good Luck, 

Best wishes,

Hi Everyone

 

Thanks for all your suggestions.

My main areas of interest are:

Ammonites and other Cephalopods

Trilobites

Fish

Plants

Pterodactyls

Marine Reptiles

 

Not too fussed about locality or region
