2019 MAPS Fossil Show- Hotel Venue

Recommended Posts

Below will be multiple posts of pictures from the MAPS ( mid America paleontological society) Hotel Show that is currently being held at the Clarion Hotel in Iowa City, Iowa. The actual show will begin tomorrow at the Sharpless Auction location also in Iowa City.

 

If you have a chance and you are heading West in I-80 from Chicago you always have to stop at the Worlds Largest Truck stop located in Iowa. If you do not think it is the largest, stop by and your mind will be changed.

Here is the sign that greets you in the hotel lobby and a room location map of vendors.

What an amazing selection! :drool:

Some really wonderful specimens, I think I'd like a Dickinsonia, if you can knock him down to about 20 dollars, please, Ralph. ;)

Thanks for taking the time to photograph all these and share with us.:)

That is a lot of fossils for such a small show.

Thanks for the eye candy!

Tony, this is about 3 % of what is at this Hotel show, there is a ton more, I only took random quick pics. The real show starts tomorrow and I will post stuff from there.

Remember that they tend to close up early that day, but you might get some good deals.

Yep.  Unfortunately, can't be helped this year.  I should be there around 12.  So, hopefully still good.

 

Cheers,

Rich
