Fossil Authenticity Policy
At Fossils and More, authenticity is fundamental to everything we offer. Fossils are irreplaceable records of natural history, and we are committed to presenting genuine specimens with accuracy, transparency, and respect for their scientific value.
Our Commitment to Authentic Fossils
All fossils offered by Fossils and More are natural specimens formed through geological processes over millions of years. We do not sell artificial replicas, casts, or manufactured fossils.
Each specimen is carefully examined prior to listing to confirm that it represents a genuine fossil and not a modern imitation or misleading reconstruction.
Examination and Identification
Fossils are evaluated using a combination of visual inspection, comparative morphology, and geological context. Identification is based on observable characteristics such as shape, surface texture, enamel structure, and preservation features consistent with the taxon and deposit from which the fossil originates.
In cases where species level identification is uncertain, fossils are attributed at the genus or higher taxonomic level to avoid overstatement. Scientific accuracy is always prioritized over commercial appeal.
Restoration and Stabilization
Some fossils may require minor stabilization or conservation to ensure long term preservation. This may include reinforcement of fragile areas or the use of archival adhesives.
Any restoration, stabilization, or repair is always disclosed in the individual product description. We do not offer heavily reconstructed or misleading specimens.
Sourcing and Provenance
Fossils and More sources specimens through established and reputable channels with experience in fossil preparation and trade. We prioritize responsible sourcing and respect applicable local regulations regarding fossil collection and export.
When available, locality and geological information is provided to offer context and enhance the educational value of each specimen.
Transparency and Customer Confidence
Each fossil listing includes clear photographs of the exact specimen offered so customers know precisely what they will receive. Descriptions are written to be factual and informative without exaggeration or unsupported claims.
If you have questions about the authenticity, identification, or condition of a fossil, we encourage you to contact us before purchasing. We are always happy to provide additional information where possible.
Educational and Scientific Respect
Fossils are more than collectible objects. They are scientific specimens that contribute to our understanding of prehistoric life. Our authenticity policy reflects a commitment to preserving that value while making fossils accessible to collectors and educators.

Image was exactly what I got, packaged in a way it wouldn't break while being in the post. Seller also got in contact with me after he realised the shipment didn't 'finish' completely. Told him everything's okay and that I'm happy. :)

Très belle plaque fossile avec deux crevettes. Petit cadeau en prime du vendeur. Merci
Adorei este pingente de Burmite com um fóssil de um pequeno inseto. Efetuei os testes de água saturada em sal e de opacidade sob observação de luz UV 365nm e 395nm. Todos os rastreios passaram com distinção, o que prova veementemente a veracidade desta amostra com 99 milhões de anos. Vinha bem embalado e chegou em tempo record. Gostava de anexar umas fotografias mas como é a primeira compra nesta plataforma não sei se é possível. Quero agradecer do fundo do coração toda a atenção que me foi prestada. Recomendo vivamente a FossilsAndMoreStore e voltarei a comprar aqui quando surgir a oportunidade. Bem haja. Cumprimentos. Miguel.

Alles bestens, das Fossil kam mit einer kleinen PlexiglasPlatte und etwas Museumsknete um es richtig zu präsentieren. Ich bestelle definitiv nochmal!
Perfekt! Zahn kommt in kleiner Kuppel und ist somit Staubgeschützt. Versand war schnell und alles war gut verpackt! Dazu gab's eine Karte mit dem Fundort.
Alles bestens, super schneller Versand, mein bernstein kam in einer kleinen Box mit eingebauter Lupe...zum glück meine Fliege ist nämlich winzig!
