MEET "DOC", Our latest Discovery!
During the spring of 2007, we discovered the partial skeleton of a very rare (1 of only 15 known to exist), short-necked PLESIOSAUR, Trinacromerum bentoneanum, on a private ranch in Butte County, South Dakota. Throughout the summer, our crews meticulously excavated it's bones trying to unlock its secrets. Preparation and study of the specimen has now begun. See "News From the Field" at left to learn more about our field work during the 2007 season

OUR SPECIMEN GUARANTEE and our OPERATING PRINCIPLES:
 
We guarantee that all of our specimens have been personally collected and, when warrented, scientifically documented, prior to being placed into the for sale market. All of our specimens are legally and ethically collected from private land only. NOTHING IS EVER REMOVED FROM PUBLIC LANDS. We believe that anyone in the field of commercial paleontology who knowingly removes specimens from public land without a permit is a disgrace to the field of paleontology. These headhunters cause more harm then good and give people who are conscientious and caring a bad name which we must constantly try to overcome.
 
We believe that ethical commerical paleontology requires the respect of science, the respect of the specimens, the respect of the land, the land owners and their rights, and the cooperation and commitment of like minded individuals to advance our common knowledge.
 
Our main goal is to find relatively complete or partial dinosaur skeletons that can find a good home in a proper U.S. museum for research and study. Dinosaurs are like dogs... they need good homes with caring parents. We will make every attempt to place any scientifically significant, PaleoAdventures specimen in a reputable museum preferably in the Western United States. Only specimens that have been deemed of little scientific interest (isolated, poorly preserved, common elements), will be marketed to private collectors, hobbyists, educators, or tourists. Exploring for dinosaurs should never be about the money. A T. rex (or its neighbors) is NOT a lottery ticket! A T. rex is a valuable piece to the puzzle of ancient life and needs to be treated as such.
 
For a detailed look at our credentials please see our posted resume under "Contract Preparation". Thanks and we look forward to working with you in the future.
