Only $2.8M.  Let me check my change jar.  I just might have enough.  If only
right?

This reminds me of the German university that solved part of its storage
problem by mortaring large fossil slabs (crinoids, ichthyosaurs, etc.)
directly into the walls of classrooms. It seems that, in the case at hand, a
collector not only solved his storage problem but even found a way to profit
from it.

I especially like the "large amethyst cave". It reminds me of "Jaws".

Say, Jere, is that yellow-green sandstone in the wall over the large
trilobite cemented with carnotite, or just epidote? I would suggest a radon
inspection before buying this house.

Here's something that may interest PaleoNetters that's a bit lighter and it
sure doesn't look like it involves ID --

A house of rocks and fossils:
http://calabashviews.com/DinosaurHouse/Minerals-Fossils.htm

And you can buy it for $2,800,000 more or less.
