        I used to go collecting fossils down our local quarry when i was a kid. There were loads and loads of Trilobite and bullet shaped one (forgot their name). I left them at home when i joined the RAF and they've all been chucked out now. No chance of getting them anymore as the local council turned the quarry into a landfill site.

          Imagine all that lost opportunity under a landfill. Here is a link to the site I obtained this from years ago: https://www.fossilera.com/

              I have been farting around with the idea of getting a replica. But the HOA would more than likely not approve. I don't blame them. I really don't want my home turned into the oddity of the community.

                It was an amazing site. People used to come from all over to find things. But the local council cannot see past their noses and back pockets. As you say. A lost opportunity and possible income.

                    A Trilobite and yes small collections are no issues. I was looking at a full size T-Rex replica.

                            If you're patient, you can obtain one for under $6000. I woke up at about 12:30 AM, plugged the coffee pot in and I'm on my fourth cup of the black gold.
