| Sculpted Stone Site Overview |
SculptedStone.com is brought to you by EXTINCTIONS, Inc., a business dedicated to
supplying fossils 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, 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 two large "Sculpted Stone" showrooms in Colorado
Springs, CO - one in the Chapel Hills Mall and another at The Citadel
Mall. 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 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.
