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.

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


  2. wow! can ya really buy fossils? :-S for ur own personal collections? well i no what to get a millionaire who has everything then!

  3. Try local museums. Like the tie by the way.

  4. ebay

    and kitty....go research stuff before you open your mouth, it just makes you look dumb

  5. ebay

  6. 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

  7. museum:-)

  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!

  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.
