Seriously, though-about the best place to go for a decent selection at a decent price is [fossilicious.com](http://fossilicious.com).

… which is an incredible waste of a name for an old-people dating site. 🙂

Possibly not worth the extra for international shipping for you, but in the UK a friend runs [Mr. Wood’s Fossils](http://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/index.php) and they have a good rep.

FYI that dating site is run by a prolific spammer. Best not to encourage them.

🙂 Yes, thank you. Some very nice teeth there. I mean, megolodon teeth. Not dentures.
