Where I can purchase some dinosaur fossils? (a reputable and legal trader a must)?

Question

Note it has to be a reputable and legal trading source. I was thinking somewhere like China or the USA would be good for getting something like this shipped to the UK.

Answer 1

dinosaur fossils are radioactive. So if you do get some make sure to keep them in a lead case. I am serious.

When I was a kid, my sister dated this guy a few blocks away. This guy later became one of the biggest fossil collectors and dealers in the USA.

www.extinctions.com

Answer 7

museum:-)

Answer 8

Look on the internet, there are loads of dealers. Dino fossils are pretty d**n valuable, especially the most sought after species. T-Rex fossils are worth millions. I know you can buy Megalodon teeth quite easily, and they're quite affordable too.

Yes I know Meg is not a dinosaur, but she would have eaten any one of them for lunch!

Answer 9

Try rock shops...although be careful.  It is illegal to collect or sell vertebrate fossils collected on public land in the US.  A lot of dino fossils sold in the US are actually collected from private land.  I've purchased pices of dino bone and a pleisiosaur vertebrate collected from private land.

Or you can buy (from rock shops or museum shops) casts of dinosaur fossils.  i have casts of dino tracks, claws, and varous bones.

BTW - dinosaur fossils (bones) CAN be radioactive, especially if from the Colorado Plateau.  Uranium dissolved in ground water is deposited in porous matrix of the bone.  I used to be a guide for Dinosaur Ridge near Denver where we would use a geiger counter to show the radioactivity of dinosaur bones.
