OUR MISSION
We strongly believe that commercial
paleontology, if done properly, can be both valid and beneficial to the science of ancient life. We intend to prove
that one can be involved in a commercial paleontology business and still meticulously collect the necessary scientific data
and distribute that information to all interested parties. We intend to work with any and all individuals interested in the
cause of preserving our fossil resources for future generations. It is our duty, our career, and our love.
We
believe that only through education, these principles can be advanced to our society. We therefore, intend to spend a great
deal of our time educating the public, through all avenues, about our wonderful fossil resources, their care and their meaning.
Our
goal is to become a beacon for all others in our field to follow. A model that is both profitable, and cost effective, and
still holds true to the tenants of science and education.
