Seller's Story
Annesuse Raquet introduces herself:
My interest in fossils started as a teenager. With friends I discovered sites in the "Mainzer Becken". I was happy about shark teeth, oysters, manatee ribs .... The excavations for amphibians and fish of the Perms were more elaborate. But it was fun to spend the weekends in the field.
The "white sharks" from Niederkirchen caused a worldwide sensation. This turned the hobby into my profession. I established contacts with museums and universities, analyzed their needs. New science museums in Japan provided for inquiries from the Far East. Good exhibits and collections were wanted. So it happened that I traveled around the world and traded with the finds.
"fossils worldwide" was my first own company, which I presented internationally. Museums, universities, dealers, auction houses and collectors - the customer base has been growing. The demand increased and so I also bought fossils. Under the label "annsus - take a look" I design and produce works of art and jewelery. Only selected real fossils are staged. Individualists who are looking for the extravagant enjoy it.
Meanwhile, the inventory is the reflection of my claim and my passion for collecting. To inspire customers with selected fossils, that creates pure joie de vivre.
