Do you earn any money if you find a Ancient Fossils?

Question

If I find a million old fossil in my property do I earn any money if I let the public know, or do I get any money if I find fossils in public area?

Answer 1

If you do find anything, preserve it in place.

It's value is greatly diminished if it can't be

tied to a place and time.

Answer 2

If you charge people to see it you could earn money by letting people know about it.

In the United States it is illegal to remove vertebrate fossils from public land without a permit. The idea is that these are rare fossils and belong in a museum, not some guy's collection.

You can remove a "reasonable" amount of invertebrate fossils from public lands (natl forests and BLM land, not natl parks.)  though I don't know about the legality of selling it.

paleontology is not a way to make money. Jobs are scarce and generally don't pay well. People are paleontologists (or most kinds of scientists) for the love of the science and discovery, not for profit.

Answer 3

Well, it depends on the rarity, type, and preservation... but generally, if you find it, and its a recognizable fossil, someone will buy it. For example: if you find an ammonite, you could get some money. If you find a rare ammonite, you will get more money. If you find an ammonite preserved exceptionally with pyrite infills and mother-of-pearl shell intact, you could get tons of money from the right buyer. Really, it all depends.
