Yes, These Are Real Dinosaur Fossils — And Yes, You Can Actually Own One!
We’ve sold tens of thousands of real fossils — yet even now, we still hear it.
“Fake.”
“Scam.”
“Chinese B.S.”
It’s not hate. It’s not trolling. It’s usually just disbelief. To someone unfamiliar with the fossil world, the idea that you could buy a real dinosaur tooth online — and for under a hundred dollars — sounds like it's simply too good to be true.
The truth is, most people assume that fossils are either locked away in museum vaults or being sold for millions of dollars to rich collectors. And yes — some fossils are exactly that. A full Tyrannosaurus skeleton? Absolutely. But a well-preserved Spinosaurus tooth? That’s another story.
What people don’t realize is that fossil collecting is a popular, legitimate, and surprisingly accessible hobby.
Here’s how it works.
In certain parts of the world — especially North Africa, the American West, and Central Asia — fossils are found in incredible numbers. Entire prehistoric riverbeds and ancient floodplains are packed with bone fragments, teeth, marine fossils, and more.
So yes — a one-of-a-kind articulated dinosaur skeleton will end up in a museum. But a single Plesiosaurus tooth, or a fragment of fossilized bone from a Hadrosaur? Those are much more common, and can be sold ethically and legally to private collectors.
That’s where we come in.
We work directly with trusted suppliers, sourcing authentic, legally imported fossils — and making them available to the public. Every piece we sell is real, backed up by our lifetime Authenticity-or-money back promise!
