Yup, I was trying to find info on trilobites last night. After 5 pages of listings, I was too tired to read any more. I just ordered a couple books on them to read at my leisure.

I'll check it better later. I'm trying to win a very rare trilobite from an old collection right now.

Wow... what a lot of pix! The shells section baffles me, they look just like regular shells, how can they tell it's a 'fossil'?

Many have been removed from limestone by acid water and sitting in river gravel or are the river gravel.Many imbedded in cave walls and river limestone.

I contacted them once to help me identify a primitive Floridian horse tooth fossil that I purchased from rocks2dust a while back. Received a prompt and well-appreciated response from them, too, on the identification of the tooth.

I am trying to figure out what exact corals i am finding.Of many locations over a 200 mile span there is a fine polyped coral(some call it pinhead)cause polyps are about 1/16 inch.It has highest quality silicifications hands down.Then the limestone imbedded coral from south Florida is full of variety.
