Very nice looking piece, Colin.
I (as certainly a lot more people out there) think that, the reason you don't find a lot more enthusiasts gathering and collecting this kind of prehistoric stuff is that, unless their provenance is "bullet-proof", you take a 99,5 % risk of acquiring fakes.
It is good that Thilo posted a link to track its ID.
