Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to own fossils?
Yes. The fossils I sell come from legal sources worldwide — mostly common species like ammonites, shark teeth, and dinosaur teeth. These fossils are freely collected and sold by hunters and suppliers in places where it’s permitted. I do not sell fossils from protected formations (like the Canadian badlands) where collecting is illegal.
Where do you source your fossils?
I work with trusted fossil hunters, dealers, and friends I know personally. Some come from classic localities like Morocco’s Kem Kem beds, Madagascar’s ammonite fields, or the American West. Others I trade or buy directly from fellow collectors. Everything is vetted to ensure it’s authentic and legally obtained.
Are the fossils real?
Absolutely. Every fossil I sell is 100% genuine and millions of years old. I don’t sell replicas or “cast” fossils unless it’s clearly labeled. When you buy from me, you’re holding the real deal.
Do you provide information with each fossil?
Yes. Each listing includes details like the species or type, age, formation/country of origin, size, and clear photos from multiple angles.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, I ship worldwide where laws allow. Some countries have restrictions, so please check your local import rules before ordering. If you’re unsure, contact me and I’ll help figure it out.
How do you package fossils?
Each fossil is carefully wrapped and padded for protection. Fragile specimens get extra care (bubble wrap, sturdy boxes, etc.) to make sure they arrive safely.
What if my fossil arrives broken?
If a fossil arrives broken or damaged, contact me within 48 hours of delivery and I’ll replace it.
Why are your prices lower than other fossil sellers?
I’m not here to get rich — my mission is to make fossils accessible. Many dealers mark fossils up heavily; I keep mine fair so more people can experience the thrill of owning ancient history.
Do you offer returns if I change my mind?
No — due to the unique nature of fossils, all sales are final. But I’m always available to answer questions before you buy so you can order with confidence.
