Who is EXTINCTIONS, Inc.?
EXTINCTIONS, Inc. is a business dedicated to supplying fossils to museums and collectors
around the world. Our goal is to offer the highest quality products at the lowest prices
possible. We have one of the largest, most complete, and most detailed fossil catalogs on
the Internet. We are regarded as one of the premier fossil suppliers in the world.
Our customers include the Smithsonian Institution, Royal Ontario Museum,
Royal Tyrrell Museum, Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences and other
museums too numerous to mention. We have also donated specimens to museums,
educational institutions, and thousands of teachers and children around the world.
EXTINCTIONS does much of its own field collecting and lab preparation, therefore we are
a direct source for many fossils. We collect at private sites and have our own land leased
solely for fossil excavation. We also acquire many fossils in the unprepared state, and
let our full time preparators do the extraction. Our labs are equipped with state-of-the-art
preparation tools, which include microscopes, air abrasive equipment (mini sandblasters),
and diamond grinders. We also have a network of contacts worldwide that supply us with
finished fossils from many regions around the globe.
EXTINCTIONS only sells real fossils in our fossil catalogs - reproductions and replicas
are only sold in catalogs marked as such. We guarantee every fossil we offer for sale is
authentic and correctly represented. Accordingly, we do not sell fossils found on public
land or acquired from questionable sources. We strive to adhere to all laws governing the
collection and sale of fossils in the United States and around the world.
The website, EXTINCTIONS.com, is the portal site for our many fossil websites.
We operate nine online fossil stores, an
online nature store, a
fossil auction
website,
and even a
wholesale fossil
store. We also host
Trilobites.info, a non-commercial,
educational website dedicated exclusively to the study of trilobites. This website,
EXTINCTIONS.com, also lists our most recent catalog updates and our famous
"Fossils of the Week", a feature that has not missed a week since 1997! Set
EXTINCTIONS.com as your fossil homepage, and all of these features will be only a
mouse click away!
