Buy Fossils


Fossielen kopenIn our webshop, you can buy a wide variety of fossils. Our collection includes dinosaur teeth and bones from species such as Ichthyosaurus, Mosasaurus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops, Titanosaurus, and many others. We also offer less common or famous fossils, such as Ammonites, Trilobites, Belemnites, and fossilized fish from the famous Green River Formation or quarries in Lebanon. Additionally, we have fossilized ferns and other plants from the Mazon Creek Formation.

You can also find fossils that were discovered in the Netherlands, where our fossil shop is located. These include Mammoth bones and teeth found at the bottom of the North Sea. These Mammoth fossils, brought ashore by fishermen, originated from the long-lost Doggerland. We also have bones and teeth from other Ice Age species, such as Woolly Rhinos, Wild Horses, and Cave Bears.

Fossielen kopenAll the fossils you can buy are authentic and were found in countries like Morocco, the United States, the United Kingdom, Libanon, and New Zealand. A large number of fossils we sell in our webshop have been found by ourselves during study-related field trips and even holiday trips. The other fossils come from trusted buyers in these countries and we pay a fair price for the fossils. Thus you not only get a beautiful fossil, but you indirectly also help people in Africa and the Middle East.

After purchase, you will not only get the fossil but we will also send you a description with information about location, age, and, other background information. So if you want to buy fossils, then you are at the right place. Also, take a look at our Facebook for more information and the newest products on our website!

Buy Minerals


In our webshop, you can also buy minerals. Minerals, like fossils, can tell something about the history of the earth. Some minerals, for example, have been formed very deep in the ground and can thus tell something about the temperature and pressure at a certain depth in the earth. Garnet, for example, only forms at a few kilometer’s depth at a few hundred degrees Celcius. Minerals cannot only tell about the history of the earth, but some minerals are also essential in present-day industrial processes. In our webshop, you can buy minerals that are common like Quartz, Smoke-Quartz, Rose Quartz, Rock Crystal, Pyrite, and Agate.

In our webshop we also sell mineralsYou can also buy minerals that are less common like the mineral Bismuth or Galenite. Bismuth, for example, is not a mineral but a metal that can be very beatiful. We also sell minerals (or better-said rocks) that were formed during a volcanic eruption like Obsidian and Pumic or come from outer space: pieces of meteorite. These meteorite fragments have been found in South America. Here, a meteorite burst just above the ground about 5000 years ago. Hence, we have thus a wide variety of minerals for sale.

When you buy a mineral, you will receive the mineral and, when available, the name of the mineral and the location it was found. Note that these are not always available.

Shipping


So, you want to buy a fossil or a mineral but what about shipping? For shipping, we use PostNL. While they are very reliable, they are also a bit expensive. Shipping costs are relatively easy to understand except for the Netherlands. This is because all fossils and minerals to destinations outside the Netherlands are sent in a package and have a single flat rate per country. For the Netherlands, since most fossils and minerals can be sent in an envelope (carefully packed of course), the shipping cost depends on the weight of the order and can vary between €2.18 and €7.95. More detailed information can be found here.If you live in Belgium, Denmark (excl. Faroe Islands and Greenland), Germany, France, (incl. Corsica and Monaco), Italy (excl. San Marino and Vatican City), Luxembourg, Austria, Spain (incl. Balearic Islands, excl. Canary Islands), Sweden, you will pay €9.50 shipping cost regardless of the weight. If you live in Europe but not in one of the countries mentioned above and not in Russia you will pay €12,50 shipping cost regardless of the weight. If you live outside Europe, you will pay €25,00 shipping cost. Note that you will likely have to pay additional fees (import duties etc.) when you live outside the European Union. More detailed shipping information can be found here.

Although unlikely, the fossil or mineral you ordered can disappoint. If this is the case, you have the right to return the fossils and minerals. However, no product can be returned without first contacting us for return procedures. That way we can see how we can solve it. We will reimburse the return costs.

Our Story


Welcome to our webshop! Fossilshop.eu is a web store that originated from personal interest and where you can buy fossils and buy minerals. As a graduated geologist, I often take minerals and fossils from abroad back to the Netherlands, completely legallyIt soon became apparent that I was not the only one who was interested in fossils and minerals as many people asked me the following question: “Where did you find these beautiful fossils and minerals”. This gave me the idea to start a webshop for fossils and minerals so that everyone can have a small piece of the earth’s history in their hand. With some hard work, fossilshop.eu was created. Since then, the website has grown a lot and many fossils and minerals have been sold through the website making both kids and collectors happy. Not only the website has grown, but also my collection of fossils and minerals; one day I can start my private fossil and mineral museum. So, if you want to buy fossils or buy minerals, you are at the right place!
