"What is a fossil worth?" Asked the magazine "Der Spiegel" in a post 2013 and gave the succinct answer: "A fossil is worth as much as it gets paid for."
The essence of the statement is due to the fact that for outsiders hardly any other market is as opaque and enigmatic as the trade in fossils. If the value of minerals, such as to estimate diamonds according to defined criteria, the same applies to fossils: each piece is unique. In this respect, one might think that every expertise is correct and not wrong.
Anyone who carefully observes the global market with its trends, however, recognizes patterns that justify a valuation.
These experiences from leading international trade fairs and auctions are supported by special databases and extensive archive material as well as a network of institutional and private experts from Germany and abroad.
