Questions

The things people ask most. If yours isn't here, ask us directly — we answer every enquiry ourselves.

Buying

Not yet — the site is a catalogue rather than a shop. Add what interests you to an enquiry and send it over; we will confirm availability, total price and postage, then take payment however suits you.

They are indicative and exclude postage. Natural specimens vary in size and quality, so we confirm the exact figure when we reply to your enquiry.

Yes. Choose "Wholesale and stockists" on the enquiry form and tell us roughly what you are after — we will come back with trade terms.

Delivery

Display specimens travel double-boxed with the piece suspended clear of the outer walls. We have shipped geodes the size of footballs without incident.

Yes, though some countries restrict the import of certain fossils and minerals. Ask before you commit and we will check the rules for your destination.

Enquiries

Within two working days. If your enquiry is time-sensitive, say so in the message and we will prioritise it.

Our specimens

For one-off display pieces, yes. For anything sold as a pack or by grade you will receive a comparable specimen from the same batch, matching the recorded measurements.

Where we know the locality with confidence we record it on the item. Where a supplier cannot tell us reliably, we leave it blank rather than print a guess.

Every fossil we list is genuine unless it is explicitly described as a replica. Replicas are labelled as such in the item name, not buried in the small print.

The longest edge of the specimen, unless the label names a different dimension. Packs list the card or box size instead.
