Pieces of Prehistory
Paleoart add-ons for the discerning dino-maniac.
I bet you didn’t know we started out as an art-based endeavour? Following the career change from building dinosaurs for museums to stay-at-home dad, I still hadn’t gotten the dinosaur bug out of my system. To scratch this itch, I began to sculpt bas relief representations of fossilized animals during my son’s nap times.
We are now offering our Pieces of Prehistory as hand-cast/painted add-ons to our party packages or a special offers throughout the year. For information and availability on our pieces please contact us!
Our Christmas Crates were a big hit in 2020! Came with 9 real fossils/gemstones and a dinosaur tree ornament!
