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.

Thanks and we look forward to working with you in the future.
