[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 7393579, member: 112342"]I got this trilobite fossil from a shop specializing in minerals and crystals, I had my doubts given how cheap it's being sold, but a quick google search on my phone showed me the species [I]Flexicalymene ouzregui [/I](which this fossil is supposed to be) is really common and goes for the same rate from other reputable online sellers. [ATTACH=full]1286437[/ATTACH] Atlas ranges of Africa Upper Ordovician- 460-440 Million years ago. My next oldest artifact/'coin' would be the deer bone cowrie shell from China, circa 1200-700 BC [ATTACH=full]1286440[/ATTACH] And my oldest coins would be the Gandhara Janapada 1/8th satamana with an early range of 600 bc, and the Ionian 1/12th stater from 525 bc.
