| ExtinctionsMinerals Site Overview |
ExtinctionsMinerals.com is brought to you by EXTINCTIONS, Inc., a business
dedicated to supplying fossils and minerals 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 operates nine online fossil stores, a mineral website, 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.
Our portal website,
EXTINCTIONS.com, lists our most
recent catalog updates, a
"Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) page,
trade show schedule,
and our famous
"Fossils of the Week", a feature that has not missed a week since 1997!
EXTINCTIONS has operated Science & Nature Stores in major shopping malls
for years, and now has a large "ACCENTS" showroom in Manitou Springs, CO.
Our products include actual items from Nature you can't find in similar
stores - a huge line of fossils, minerals, seashells, and butterflies, for
example. We offer a large variety of Scientific and Educational products,
like telescopes and Chem-labs. We also carry familiar items found in
similar stores - posters, t-shirts, books, toys, music, etc. And we listen
to our customers - we have exhaustively searched for, found, and stocked
our store with many items that our customers requested and couldn't find
anywhere else.
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 and mineral 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.
