RealFossils.co is an independent collector field guide built around evidence, documentation, and responsible ownership.
What the site does
We help collectors ask better questions about anatomy, matrix, age, locality, preparation, restoration, legality, provenance, value, and preservation. We organize marketplace searches so buyers can compare like with like.
What the site does not do
We do not provide formal taxonomic determinations, appraisals, legal opinions, export clearance, or authentication certificates. Important, expensive, unstable, or scientifically significant specimens deserve qualified professional review.
Editorial approach
Authoritative government, museum, and professional sources anchor legal and scientific frameworks. Marketplace listings are treated as commercial comparison data, never automatic evidence.
