I_gotta_rock Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Exogyra cancellata, cretaceous era, Mt. Laurel Formation, Delaware City, DE. Just a baby! You see more 5" specimens here than minis. I thought it was cute! I refuse to give up my childish wonder at the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcordova Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Well,I did a blind trade with Doren (caldigger) around a month ago.... my apologies to Doren for not posting before what I received in the blind trade... Got to say that each piece came neatly detailed indicating where it was coming from and the scientific name of it.... The little box in the middle its "gold" like real gold, I think it will be best if Doren tells the story of that little one.... the trilobite is a killer...Thanks Doren! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hello Thank you Doren for the fantastic selection you made for me: Better latter, than never and finally the services in Portugal release the package. Best Regards Filipe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hoowee, I didn't think they were ever going to release that package to you. Glad it finally made it. I was contemplating flying to Portugal and hand delivering a box. Its been so long, I forgot what I had sent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir.tommy.the.toad Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 This is what I got Caldigger, Brachiopod, crow shark tooth, some ammonites, a few trilos :), horn coral, marine clams, crinoid stems, echinoids, mackerel shark vert, pea crab, boring clam cast, fern, gastropod, shell impression and some micro matrix. My kids and I really love what you sent. I have been trying to get them into fossils and hunting here in Gainesville, but they like all the stuff that's not here. I will send you some cut and polished coral when I finish my slab saw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for intervention here. I enjoy getting new stuff and I don't get a chance to get out very often so this is an ideal way to do digs via the mailbox. This is a great way to obtain fossils that are not the "same ol, same ol " you see at shows. The opportunity to do trades with other members opens up the door to create friendships and both parties get a benefit out of it (the friendship part is the biggest bonus!). I only wish more members would participate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Awww, poor Dorren, no buddies? Go on then, I'll have another of your wonderful boxes, I've got a few new bits which would be my pleasure to ship your side of the pond and then we'll show what others are missing out. I promise not to send any coprolite, iguanodon that is, as I sent you some in our previous trade. Give me a couple of weeks if you're up for it Happy to to take on one other victim too. Worldwide is fine. Small stuff is good if the shipping worries you. 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Alrighty then! I also promise not to give you a repeat performance John. Always happy to do business with you. Sure a few weeks is fine, just let me know. Come on guys, I have contacted several others recently that showed interest and still haven't heard back from any of them. I know the winter snows haven't set in yet, preventing a trip to the PO. Looking forward to hearing from someone soon. The Blind Trade(c) game is open to anybody that wants to play. I send you stuff, you do the same in return. How easy is that?! Kindly PM me if you have an interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsnl Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Thank you Doren, that's a lot of fossils I don't have! The little sand dollars are cute, you have amazing eyesight to spot them! I also like the Moroccan cephalopods with beautiful sutures very much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Sorry, but the trade with me is closed! If you wait some time, I might come back with new fossils to trade, but now my stock is empty! Hello fossil-lovers! Is anyone interested in a blind trade with me? I live in the Netherlands, so if anyone nearby is interested, send me a message! Just saying, the fossils I'm offering aren't as awesome as those of @caldigger or @sdsnl gave (previous message), so the budget should be around 10 euros... I'm looking forward to your message!
