    As for coins from other than coin shows, I bet I've gotten over 100 ancients from gun shows. At very low prices I will add.

    Trilobites are my favorite type of fossil. I have several of them.

    Cool stuff!

    If you're ever on the East Coast in south GA or north FL, look me up.

    You might enjoy this fossil walk I did, less than a mile from my house.

    I do that periodically. Sometimes it's a refreshing change of pace from metal detecting.

    If I ever owned a brick-and-mortar shop, the inventory would only be about 60-70% coins, I think. I'd bill it as a "coins & curiosities" shop rather than just a coin shop. There would be mostly coins, of course, but gems, minerals, fossils, ancient artifacts, small antiques and art, old postcards, prints, and books, and just cool curiosities in general.

    What the heck IS that!?! Yikes!

    But if that's a fossil, how did all the delicate appendages survive intact? No way you could remove something like that from any matrix I'm familiar with, without breaking off legs and spines and stuff, surely?

    Cool lookin' beastie! (More than a little creepy, too, but creepy can be good...)

    check out Fossilera. Many specimens have long thin appendages, genal-spines, etc. The photo below shows (I think) how segments are "attached". The bug came ingeniously packed to protect the spines and, of course, I broke the front right one about half way by moving it carelessly. It's still one of my favorites.

    My dad gave me a box of these fossils that he found at a construction site many years ago.
