RJB Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ive got to start hunting this mailbox more often! This just came from another friend in New Zealand about 5 minutes ago. He had asked me several weeks ago if I might want it for trade or to sell, and I simply said "yes". This cool echinoid is known as Pericosmus crawfordi and is Oligocene in age. Im told its a bit on the rare side? This realy should be on the trade and sales page, but if anyone is interested in this echinoid, send me a pm. Sale only, I dont need any more echs.

RJB Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Very nice have a price HI Seldom. I know how you like a price with a fossil when its posted for sale, and I can usually handle that, but I dont know this echinoid from a hole in the ground and was really hoping that someone would be able to help me out with that? Im about to have dinner in about 40 minutes, but tomorrow morning I will try and do some homework and see what I come up with? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Nice piece. Unfortunately I have no idea how much something like that is worth, but I have a roll of quarters if you need to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My B**** is with dealers with 1 or 2 post listing several fossils with no price just testing the market. They are not collectors and want to use this board just to sale their stuff. I just bought a book from a member here who did not post a price no problem I made a offer books in the mail.

RJB Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks everybody. Even though this specimen is damaged, I know its worth a bit of moneys. I feel $20 is too little and $200 is too much, but I think I will just wait until my webpage is done and put it there. Along with all my other super duper rare stuff? Ha!!! I wish!
