Fossil for Sale!
Dinosaur, Pterosaur fossils
for sale in auction.

I am fortunate to have come upon a direct Moroccan source for these large fossil complexes, so check my future auctions WEEKLY for more examples of this formidable creature.

The specimen listed are real fossil jaws and teeth that are created when the preparatory Moroccan craftsman removes actual insitu (as found) fossil jaw bone sections and real teeth from blocks of brittle, crumbly sandstone matrix and then composites (reassembles them from parts) back onto a block of original crushed matrix, which is then stabilized with a thin glue solution making the whole display very stable.  These are NOT found in the ground as you are seeing them, they are composites that have been prepared and assembled for display.  Whole natural jaw sections such as this would cost you thousands of dollars more and be encased in plaster since the matrix is so brittle.

As with the vast majority of Moroccan Trilobites and other fossils, some restoration and / or repair is evident in the fossil specimen, even with close-up pictures, it is difficult to tell which part of the fossil may have been restored, I am not an expert in estimating the percent of restoration, so you be the judge of the overall percentage of original fossil and matrix.  All the fossils on display have been recently purchased from Moroccan wholesale dealers at the world-class Tucson Gem and Fossil show held in February of 2008.  All pictures are of the actual specimen being auctioned. 

Thanks for a bid, George

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY...Never a Reserve, everything offered is an ABSOLUTE AUCTION and starts at $0.99 and I honor the highest bid no matter what the cost to me --- I do not sell on approval! I have never accepted returns on any item unless I grossly misrepresent the "condition" only. I sell many kinds of items and majority of the items sold on EBay are old, even prehistoric, previously owned and there is no knowledge of their previous care. If you want to speculate on an item, that is "your risk - not mine". For this reason please don't assume an item is in mint condition unless I state that in my description. If I see an item is broken, chipped, etc. I will state that. It is possible that I will not see something that someone else considers to be an imperfection, and for that reason, I urge you to ask any questions to the condition or quality of an item BEFORE bidding. My high-resolution pictures all taken outside in the brutal Arizona sun, are some of the most detailed on Ebay and sometimes takes a little longer to download on land-lines, so please bid before the last 60 seconds of the listing.  I try to make the description as thorough as possible and include numerous pictures for you to make your bidding decisions. If that leaves unanswered question in your mind you "MUST," ask before you bid. Old items have many flaws and imperfections. I realize that it is difficult to accurately judge an item from a picture on a monitor. I want to assure my customers that while I do not want curiosity bids, and/or remorse bids, I will only allow you to return an item for a refund if I grossly err in my description. The buyer will be responsible for shipping/insurance cost BOTH ways if we both agree to a return an item. Non-paying high bidders will be barred from future bidding and given a formal "Strike" on Ebay as well as Negative Feedback. I do not ship FedEx or UPS unless otherwise agreed before shipping via USPS Priority mail and all items over $50 will be insured at buyers expense.
