The Mid America Paleontological Society (MAPS) invites you to see the largest fossils only show and exposition in the world. The dates are April 5-7, 2013. See nearly 100 exhibitors who buy, sell, and trade some of the most exotic fossil specimens ever seen under one roof. MAPS is better than a museum because you can get up close and personel with the fantastic fossils we all know and love. You'll see real dinosaur bones, dinosaur teeth, dinosaur skulls, trilobites, crinoids, eurypterids, fish, ammonites, cave bears, fossil jewelry, amber, insects, mammoth & mastondon teeth, turtles, oreodonets, blastoids, cystoids, sponges, fossil books, and much, much more. And everything is for sale. This is your chance to see, examine and own some world class fossils.

If you want to see or purchase real dinosaur specimens like Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Velociraptor this is the show for you. And it's FREE to see.

In addition to the fossils there are several auctions, kids activities, guest speakers, the local college natural history museum, and evening shopping at motel exhibits that also include fabulous rock and mineral specimens.
