Chicago Rock and Mineral Society - 70th Annual Silent Auction
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Tonight I decided to stop by the Chicago Rock and Mineral Societies 70th Annual Silent Auction which ran from 6pm - 9pm. This was the first time that I have attended this event and since it was a rainy night and only 40 miles from home I figured I stop by to see what they had. Here are a couple pics of the event- Most people were interested in the Rocks and Minerals and not the few fossils that were offered, and I hate seeing fossils up for auction and no one bidding, so I did and picked up a couple items that I did not need. This first piece is from Mazon Creek and I do love bark, so I got this piece for $3.00- Calamites bark with a great cross section of an internode. Here are 3 pieces of Pennsylvanian black shale that contain Shark Spines- these are from Illinois and I forget which Pit they come from and they only cot 50 cents each. I definitely did not need this next flat of Upper Ordovician Isorthoceras sociale cephalopods, but I could not just let them sit there without anyone putting down the starting bid of $1.00. I wrote down $1.00 and this was the last table to close and no one raised it, so I brought them home. I was planning on collecting from this site again this year after the MAPS Show. These two larger pieces of Turritella Agate from I believe Wyoming were a good price at $2.00 each- one slab is natural and the other slab is cut and polished on both sides. I also picked up these 5 echinoids and 1 gastropod that were supposed to have been collected in July of 1967 in Salenia, Texas- I picked these pieces up for 50 cents each. Here are a bunch of brachiopods and 1 horn coral that I got for a few dollars, but I do not have a location or age on these, If someone can help out it would be appreciated @Tidgy's Dad @Peat Burns- I believe that they are all from the same location. I’m thinking maybe Devonian from New York or Ohio? Here is a small trilobite that may be complete within the matrix- unknown location. I picked this up for 50 cents as well as this other piece with multiple brachiopods, believe it maybe Ordovician Sowerbyella rugosa. All in all, it was a good time and I helped them get rid of some stuff that they did not have to pack up and take back. -

I’m in Toronto this weekend with my fiancé to have an engagement party with her Canadian side of the family. I’ve been to the ROM once but now that I’m on the forum I figured I would give a 2019 update on what’s here!! I’ll add photos throughout the day. This place is amazing
