Fossil Preparation Solutions

What is fossil preparation?

Fossil preparation is the art of uncovering and revealing the hidden beauty of the natural world. It is the process of carefully removing fossils from the surrounding matrix and cleaning and restoring them to reveal their intricate details and unique features. Through fossil preparation, we are able to bring the past to life and uncover the secrets of the ancient world, unlocking the mysteries of evolution and the natural history of our planet. Whether you are a professional paleontologist or a curious amateur, fossil preparation is a thrilling and rewarding pursuit that offers endless opportunities for discovery and exploration.

Who has their fossils prepared?

Professional fossil preparation adds a multitude of value to any paleontological specimen. Preparation is a necessary component to a fossil's scientific investment for future research.

A fossil preparation service is typically used by paleontologists, museum curators, and other professionals who work with fossils. These individuals may use a fossil preparation service to carefully remove excess matrix (the material in which the fossil is embedded) from a fossil, or to repair and stabilize a fossil that has been damaged. In some cases, amateur collectors or hobbyists may also use a fossil preparation service to clean and restore fossils that they have collected. Fossil preparation services can be used to prepare fossils for a variety of purposes, including scientific study, exhibition in museums, and private collections. Fossil preparation can be a delicate and time-consuming process, and many professionals and collectors choose to use a specialized service to ensure that their fossils are handled with care and expertise.
