you’re a classy guy Richard!
Message: Received shipment of fossils today and we are absolutely awed and astonished by them! What amazing specimens! The ammonite snake is unbelievable and the turtle is a rare beauty.Wow! All of them – the lobster, the insect, the ginkgo-wonderful! I started collecting fern fossils in Illinois when I was 10 years old in the 1950’s and have added a few specimens here and there over the years but after having found you, our collection has become very special. I’ll have to keep a close eye on your website from here on in! Also, thanks for the great packaging and the display boxes and stands – you’re a classy guy Richard!

Your pieces really are museum quality.
Mariann here, Ken’s wife. I absolutely LOVE the dragonfly!! I had no idea it would be so large and perfect, with so many details. Like you said: The intricate details of his wings are all very well preserved and visible. It is much more impressive than I thought it would be.
The Eurypterid specimen is equally as impressive. Your pieces really are museum quality.
We were wondering if you all have a fossil collection of your own? If you do, I bet you have some extraordinary specimens! We’d love to see a picture of your collection if you would wish to share. If you do collect fossils yourselves, I am surprised that you let this dragonfly fly away to us :-)).
Thanks again for these wonderful treasures. Your boxes were packed perfectly as well.
Enjoy your day and thanks for making our day!

Best decision I’ve ever made when buying online
Greetings,
I would like to tell how thrilled I am about my recent purchase. On April 13th I placed an order for a Heliobatis Radians.
I was a little concerned as it was over my official price for buying something “sight unseen”.
Well , I received by shipment yesterday. All I can say is WOW!! The fossil is exquisite. It looks so much better in person than the photographs could show . The Heliobatis is now the crown jewel of my modest fossil collection The packaging was done by true professionals. I could tell right away that my purchase was well taken care of by the shipping department.
Ordering from the Stone and Bones Collection was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made when buying online.
Thanks for a 1st class buying experience,

Good quality fossils for a reasonable price
I received my Trilobite and Ammonite fossils and I cannot tell you how happy and impressed I am. I am pleased to find such good quality fossils for a reasonable price. They arrived within a week of ordering and were packed really well. They look just like what was pictured. Thank you. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future and will recommend you to anyone looking for something special to add to their collections.

Their prices are VERY reasonable
I’m new to collecting. A long-time collector recommended Stones & Bones. Their collection is amazing. Their prices are VERY reasonable. The owners could not be nicer and take the time to share their extensive knowledge. I love my new hobby!!

Long Time Satisfied Customer
I have purchased countless fossil and mineral specimens from The Stones and Bones Collection over the past 12 years or so. Whether I make a purchase in person or online, I have always been overly pleased with both the quality and price of the specimens I receive. Many of the fossils I’ve purchased have become virtually impossible to find on the market today, and so I am grateful for the opportunity to add such unique, quality specimens to my collection.

My Fossils are Sound Investments
I’ve been buying fossils from Stones & Bones for probably 10 years. They are always properly described and priced, actually underpriced when compared to others sellers.
One thing I’ve noticed is the value of my collection has more than kept up with inflation so I consider it as much as an investment as a collection.

I would highly Recommend Stones & Bones Fossils
I have been buying fossils on my science department’s dime for years from Stones and Bones, and I finally could afford to buy one for my husband. He adores his fossilized tortoise! I recommend the company to other teachers all the time.

It’s been so long since my first purchase from you folks, I’m not really certain…probably a Google Search initially. After that, the quality of your fossils, etc. along with the integrity, help and professionalism I’ve encountered when dealing with S&B has been the real guiding principle.Your fossils are outstanding in quality and ones I cherish a great deal.

They were delivered within 4 days as promised
I was very excited to have a 13 year old boy list fossils, rather than an electronic game, for my unknown “christmas angel gift” this year (second was a bicycle). Knowing nothing about fossils, I searched the web and after seeing only cheap “dig kits” for really young kids or $10,000 artifacts for sale, came across your website. I was hesitant, but ordered 2 beginner kits. They were delivered within 4 days as promised, packaged nicely and I spent almost 2 hours looking at them before I re-wrapped them. I will recommend this company to anyone with a young person who is interested in fossils. This site does have high dollar items, but also fossils in a reasonable price range that would be appropriate for a young person. These are great gifts that I will look to in the future. Well done! (Oh, and I also got him a bike).

Stones & Bones offers the highest-quality pieces at great prices, and their customer service is excellent.
I have ordered pieces from Stones & Bones many times over the past few years and have always been pleased with the results. Unlike many sites, the pieces they sell look better in real life than they do in the photographs. They have yet to disappoint me.
I now have a small but very nice collection of museum-quality pieces at home and have given many pieces as gifts.
There was only one time where I had a problem with an order, and that happened when Stones & Bones couldn’t find an item that was shown on the website. The owner emailed me, then called me about the problem and offered to substitute a nice item of higher price for the same price as the missing item. I was pleased with the level of customer service for what I considered to be a minor issue.

Thank you for taking such care
Mr. Hightower,
I received the fish plate today in excellent condition. The crate you shipped it in could probably have been dropped from a plane and still protected it. Thank you for taking such care.
The plate is everything that the picture showed. I am delighted with it.

Everything was packaged with such care!
I ordered a few items from you recently and they arrived today–everything was packaged with such care! I am stunned by how beautiful the bowl is in person and I love the two meteorite fragments I received–they’re a gift for my father and I know he’ll think they’re cool. The four ammonites in my grab bag order are all absolutely gorgeous. I just wanted to write and thank you! I’m blown away by the quality of the service and the items themselves, I will definitely be back. 🙂

Received the Green River Fish. Exactly what I was looking for. I do my Christmas shopping early and I like to find unusual gifts for my grandson. One of these days he’ll have an office or den, look up at the fossil and remember me. It may even start him on a quest out west looking at fossils where he will end up at Fossil Butte. Thanks for the excellent specimen.

Will buy from again! Thank you!
My order arrived yesterday in perfect condition! You can tell they take extra time to make sure everything they ship is wrapped properly to ensure perfect arrival! The specimen is gorgeous and my husband could not be more pleased! Great products at great prices and great customer service! I had a lot of questions since I was buying this as a present for my husband, but Richard was super helpful and gave me some great ideas! SUPER fast shipping! Will buy from again! Thank you!

What a wonderful fossil!
Hello Richard,
The didymoceras arrived safely. What a wonderful fossil! Thank you.
I will appreciate hearing from you if you offer any other rare types of heteromoph ammonites that I don’t have.

I cannot say enough about Stones & Bones
My order arrived this week. I cannot say enough about Stones & Bones. Everything was better than described on the web site and Richard has been wonderful to work with. After looking extensively for fossils on the web, I found him to have great product choices and great prices. I highly recommend him and will place future orders with him.
