Hmm, no feedback as a seller. 100% rating? With a not too complimentary feedback from one seller?
Smells FISHY :twisted:

Pretty damn cool rock but it sure is not a fossil. It would be great as part of a water feature in a landscape for something less than 1% of the asking price.

ummmm... yeah.

I have a fossilized leprechaun for half that price. Looks just like a garden gnome. It's extremely rare, the paint even fossilized with it.

:roll: :roll:

Hangin out in the backyard and thinking up things that your rocks could be. Sounds like a great afternoon exercising the imagination and dreaming is usually free. I've recently been shown pics of what is supposed to be a petrified heart and a petrified brain. They are clearly iron stone concretions but worth millions to the owner.

I don't know why you people are so cynical. Didn't you notice that the seller has 100% positive feedback? What could go wrong?

:lol: I think you are being a devil’s advocate, ROM, and you know the seller has 0 feedback as a seller.

I suspect you may not understand the use of ironic humor. Will my future posts of a similar nature have to be tagged "Sarcasm?"

...so for $1 million dollars I could have bought possibly the greatest fossil ever found..the famous 47 million year old missing link monkey from Germany...
or...for $1 million more($2 million dollars) I could buy a salmon head.....wait..that includes the pectoral fin, right?
:mrgreen: :roll:
