Seller's Story

I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world. Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan. Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us. Don
