Guest Nicholas Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I've been recently buying some more fossils to add to my collection, and I've decided to start buying in bulk quantities. I usually prefer buying common fossils in sets of somewhere between 25 and 100. I do this mainly because I get to increase my collection, I have extra to trade for other fossils, and it allows me to practice and perfect prepping on cheaper more common fossils. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I've searched the net for a few hours now and I've come up with very little, aside from one site which their prices are rather too expensive for practice pieces. I was wondering if anyone could possibly point me in the right direction to dealers, or sites which offer cheaper more common fossils in bulk. Thanks, Nicholas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Nicholas What types of fossils are you looking for: teeth,trilobites,plants,fish,whatever you can get?

Northern Sharks Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I know it wasn't specifically for me, but those are some great sites Brock. Saharaoverland also has a useful section on how Moroccan trilobites are faked. It's worth a read if you collect them.
