Very nice fossils. Thanks for showing. Morocco is amazing for at least 3 catagories of collectables: Fossils, meteorites, and Sahara artifacts. The fossil market developed there first. To this day one must be careful where their fossils are concerned. This is because, amazingly, despite the dizzying wealth of genuine fossil deposits, they actually have factories where they manufacture fake fossils!! I kid you not, they do this despite the fact it only undermines confidence in their fossil market. They're really good at faking trilobite fossils. The "meteorite rush" in Morocco has been thriving since the 90's. The nomads find them and bring them to meteorite middle men in the town of Erfoud.
Meteorite hunters and dealers from the West travel to Erfoud for the goods. That's where the fossil markets are as well. The nomads started picking up arrowheads while they were meteorite hunting and now there's a pretty good market for Neolithic arrowheads which they find in both Morocco and Algeria. Dino fossils are cool. I have a few dino teeth from the US and a few dino eggs from China.
