Special Instructions

PaleoForms are created using original fossils that have been collected and prepared by highly skilled Palentologists. A mold of the original fossil is made, being careful not to alter the original and destroy its' scientific value. Plaster, concrete, or composite is then poured into the mold to make a detailed 3-dimensional cast. Plaster gives the look and feel of stone. Concrete is weather durable. Composites are lightweight and strong.  Each PaleoForm is them hand painted to emphasize the detail and replicate the look of the original fossil.


PaleoForms are a form of natural art. Their three dimensional presentation and unusual subject matter make them the center of attention and conversation.
