Consult Fossil page for list for specifics. Fossils for sale have marginal scientific value – that is, they are well-documented in museum collections. Many are display-quality with good external features. Silicified fossils are like that – but have no scientific value based on the techniques paleontologists use today to describe species, i.e., cutting thin-sections.
