FAQ'S:
Q: Do you provide a certificate of authenticity?
A:
We do not offer certificates of authenticity with any of our fossils because there is no unbiased third party services for fossils as you may be familiar with for man-made items such as coins and sports cards. No two fossils are alike or identical so it would be impossible to come up with an accurate or fair grading system. If I provided a certificate it would just be me simply printing it on my computer. Anyone selling any fossils who offers a certificate is simply printing it on their computer and you are still just taking their word for it. I'm sure this isn't the answer you were hoping for but it is the honest truth. You can take any fossil we sell to your local natural history museum and they will be able to verify it is indeed a fossil. It will depend upon their knowledge of the fossils from different geographical locations as to whether they can verify the location but they absolutely SHOULD be able to verify an authentic fossil. As it stands, I have been collecting fossils for roughly 35 years and I only deal with reputable dealers, divers and collectors. I also have found countless fossils on my own. So with that said, I offer a 100% guarantee that all of my fossils are authentic and are from the stated location. You could even print this Ebay listing description and it would be equally as valuable as any certificate anyone could make. Read books! Ask questions!
Educate yourself and you'll never be fooled!
Definition of Repair:
A broken off part that was found with the fossil and has been glued back on. Everyone would do this but absolutely must say this when they go to sell the fossil. This is considered by most collectors to be completely acceptable as long as they know this at the time of purchase. This is the case with many dinosaur fossils and is considered normal because it is the only way they are found or would ever be offered up for sale.
Definition of Restoration:
Replacing a section that was never there to begin with to make the fossil appear to be complete which in most cases diminishes the value of the fossil as any sort of investment. This includes filling in root pitting with sand and whatever else was found at the site the fossil was found. This type of restoration can usually be detected visually but can also be detected by soaking the fossil in acetone for 24 hours. The acetone will break down any glue or paint used and will not harm the natural fossil. Restoration is considered acceptable as long as this is known during the sale.
