Where are our fossils from? 

we source all of our fossils from a very reputable wholesaler based in the UK we do not import directly from abroad so we can trace all of our fossils origin. 

Are all your fossils genuine? 

Yes all of our fossils are genuine.

Are all your fossils perfect or flawless? 

No pretty much all of our fossils are damaged/repaired in some way. We are very honest about the condition of the fossil, we rarely state anything to be perfect of pristine. It is also worth noting that cracks and imperfections are often (not always) a good sign the fossil is genuine. If a fossil is sold as perfect and very rare and is also cheap I would question its origin before buying. It is worth remembering that fossils are often found looking very different to the finished “cleaned up” fossils we usually see and it takes allot of skill and time to properly clean a fossil and this is often reflected on the price of a fossil unfortunately they are rarely found looking pristine. 

Are Moroccan Trilobites all fake? 

Though there are allot of fake fossils coming in from Morocco and other countries we do our best to source only genuine fossils. This dose not mean they have not had repairs or enhancements some of the trilobites you will find on our website will have re-construction, fillers, carvings or a light black paint/shoe polish to help cover repairs and blemishes. This polish is usually easily removed with warm water and some nail polish remover and a soft brush on some specimens you will find little light grey patches where they have patched a broken piece so in some cases we would personally leave the polish on to hide the blemishes especially for more moderately priced specimens. It is a matter of personal preference if you’re happy with this and is also reflected on the price. If you want an excellent museum quality rare trilobite then it will be many times more expensive than say a lesser quality one that though genuine has had some restoration work to it or repairs. We will always do our best to be open about this and note this on the fossils details and let the buyer decide for themselves. We have a very good relationship with our UK wholesalers and they are extremely knowledgeable, we are always happy to forward any queries that we can not confirm ourselves to their experts to help provide you with all the information needed. It is also worth keeping in mind Morocco also produces some stunning fossils and has many highly skilled people with allot of these fossils being very hard to clean up without damaging them.

Are there any guarantees with my fossil? 

We do not generally provide certificates of authenticity but can get written proof of a fossil if needed from our wholesalers. We are not palaeontologists or scientists, we use good judgment, honesty and clear photos to help our customers make informed decisions before buying.

We do however offer a buy with confidence policy, if your not happy with a fossil you may return it and we will refund you the cost of the fossil (not the postage) the fossil must be returned in the same condition it left us otherwise no refund will be issued. We highly value our customers and want them to be happy with their purchases.
