Frequently asked questions

Do you have a physical location or storefront?

No, we operate exclusively online. This allows us to maintain low overhead costs.

Were your fossils legally collected?

Yes, all fossils available on our site have been legally collected and can be legally sold.

Are your fossils real?

Yes, at Prehistoric Oddities, we only sell genuine fossils. We guarantee the authenticity and accuracy of all fossils listed and sold.

How can you sell real dinosaur teeth for under $100? Aren't they rare?

Yes, they are indeed real. Many types of fossils, including certain dinosaur teeth, are more common than commonly perceived. Similar to sharks today, dinosaurs shed their teeth throughout their lives, resulting in a significant number preserved in the fossil record. While some types are common, large and pristine specimens remain highly rare.

Do you provide a Certificate of Authenticity?

By default, we do not include physical certificates with orders as they are time-consuming to create and often discarded. If you wish to receive a physical Authenticity Guarantee with your order, please specify this in the shipping instructions, and we will gladly provide one.

How do you accept payment?

We accept all major credit, debit, and prepaid cards through Stripe payment processing, as well as PayPal. Google Pay and Apple Pay are also supported on compatible devices. For higher-value items, we can arrange alternative payment methods such as checks or wire transfers upon request.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship internationally and have successfully delivered fossils to over 100 different countries worldwide.
