This is an educational estimate built by Jurassic Depot from listing scores and market data β not the seller's claim, not an appraisal, and definitely not investment advice. The mid case can go up, stay flat, or go down. Nobody can edit these numbers except JD. Past patterns don't guarantee future prices β markets change, fakes get better, and laws shift.

What drives this estimate
- JD quality blend 83/100 from authenticity, provenance, docs, trust
- No restoration % disclosed as a drag
- Category heuristic for Miocene Β· Miocene Marine
- Domestic / clearer path assumed in JD model
- Mid case rises only when quality, demand lane, and paperwork stack align
What could change this
- Liquidity: few buyers for the category can stall or reverse even a βsoughtβ lane
- Law & export rules: new restrictions can erase modeled upside overnight
- Fakes / composites: a market scare in the category compresses comps
- Better comps: a flood of similar lots (or a trophy sale) resets expectations
Not the sellerβs opinion. Markets move. Demand, fakes, and law changes can erase a tidy chart overnight β including βupβ lanes. Buyer standards Β· Market trends.
