Fossil Preparation Services

Ever found a fossil in a stone and wondered what it looks like on the inside? Well we can help.

Fossils-uk is offering a wide range of preparation services to the general public and fossil collectors on the Yorkshire Coast.

Our in house team of experienced preparators use the latest air tools, air abrasives and chemicals to carefully remove rock around the fossils and display them in an asthetic manner.
