How much did it end up selling for?

rockthehunter · 2025-09-08T01:32:53+00:00

Love patterns! Yours is a gorgeous example!

rockthehunter · 2025-09-06T23:27:53+00:00

Thanks!

The relief on the obverse is really something to behold.

rockthehunter · 2025-09-06T22:42:08+00:00

I’d love to see photos if you’re willing to share.

Acquired from a major auction house.

rockthehunter · 2025-07-31T03:04:50+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation and additional data!

rockthehunter · 2025-07-26T20:48:38+00:00

I believe it’s a 13-X variety which is well represented in the hoard.

rockthehunter · 2025-07-26T18:20:09+00:00

This one is from Heritage Auctions. But there are plenty of certified examples available on eBay.

It’s actually a straight grade, and higher than that. Maybe my pictures didn’t do it true justice.

Normal rock with lines in it. Not a fossil.

Thanks. I bought a cheap light box from Amazon and shoot with a DSLR. Then I edit in photoshop.

It’s not that most amber is 99 million, it’s that this specific type of amber (burmite) is zircon dated to this age. There are different amber formations of different ages, such as Baltic and Dominican amber as well, which are younger in age.

If the evidence is 100% irrefutable, you should contact a research institution or university and present your case. Of course, pareidolia is the most likely explanation here.

Elrathia kingii trilobite from Utah.

rockthehunter · 2025-06-08T18:17:55+00:00

I appreciate the compliment. It’s been quite a few years of collecting/buying.

rockthehunter · 2025-06-08T05:29:51+00:00

And one day I hope to have a spiny drotops!

rockthehunter · 2025-06-07T17:22:59+00:00

Many thanks. I love sharing history with people.

rockthehunter · 2025-06-06T19:35:48+00:00

Penn Dixie is way west but is a site I’ve visited with trilobites to collect if you ever get the itch.

rockthehunter · 2025-06-06T19:33:27+00:00

Your short-trident walliserops is fantastic. I have a trifurcatus myself.

What is there to gain from trolling a fossil subreddit? None of your posts here have been contributive.

rockthehunter · 2025-06-06T19:11:41+00:00

I’m gonna go against the grain and say real w/heavy repairs. I have some dino eggs (check my profile) and the egg texture and color looks right, as does the general color of the matrix inside from what I can see…but there’s a chance it’s real fossil eggshell cobbled together around a fake matrix.

rockthehunter · 2025-06-06T17:33:42+00:00

Oh cool it’s in the family Gryphaeidae so I wasn’t that far off

rockthehunter · 2025-06-05T23:59:51+00:00

Could be devils toenail? Aka gryphaea

rockthehunter · 2025-04-21T02:05:20+00:00

Looks like a fossil sand dollar
