I am considering buying this slate fossil

https://preview.redd.it/0pqyuw1fcg4e1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5630af1c5097f93ae028377fea38c2f7fa17069

it is about 10x15" with some nice looking fossils (to my untrained eye). This photo is one section of it. What would something like this be worth? It's an auction so I don't want to over pay. I like it a lot, but what do fossil enthusiasts think? Curious if this is considered a nice specimen.

Can anybody identify this? It is about 2,5" wide. I guess it is some sort of shell, but it might also e some kind of leaf?

Fossil gift recommendations

My nephew has gotten deep into rocks and minerals hobby and now (inevitably) fossils and it's the only thing on his Christmas list, so I aim to get him some cool stuff... So I am asking for recommendations for good trusted fossil resellers online, but also I'd like to know what some of your favorite fossils are so that I can get an idea of what to look for that may not be on my radar. I want to get him some fossils that he may not have seen before and definitely ones that he doesn't already.. nothing that I could get from a random gift shop on the boardwalk or something. I am not completely knew to fossils, but haven't started collecting them myself (yet, just rocks for now).

I am also intending to go out and find some stuff in a park in my state (Maryland) but I am not expecting to find anything mindbendingly cool there, just shark teeth and the like.

Thanks!

Help Finding an Appraiser

Hi, Apologies in advance if this post isn't right for r/fossils, but looking for any help I can get.

I inherited a lot of fossils and meteorites (about 30) from my mom last year and am looking to donate them to museums for tax deduction purposes. Really not sure where to get them appraised - I can't afford Mearto or other per-piece appraisals, but not sure if there's a bulk appraiser I can go to for this kind of thing. Is there a low-cost, general appraiser for this kind of thing this group approves of?

Thank you!

If I’m not mistaken, that’s a modern crab shell basing passed as a genuine Travertin fossil
