I have a trilobite fossil of Cambrian age that I recently purchased. How can I tell what it’s worth?
The trilobite fossil is the actual body of the creature that has been replaced with minerals such as iron. My geology professor, whom has a PhD in geology confirmed that it is real and that it is of Cambrian age.
Contact the Smithsonian Institute, they have a website that may prove quite useful to you. You may want to contact a paleobiology researcher.
