Find answers to common questions about Earth Discoveries' fossil, shark tooth, rock and mineral excavation kits, shipping and authenticity.
FAQ
Are the Fossils & Specimens Real?
Yes! All fossils and specimens included in our Earth Discoveries kits are 100% genuine.
Will I damage the fossil while excavating it?
The fossils included with our display frame excavation kits are housed inside a protective casing, helping prevent damage while you excavate.
Other kits, such as our 5 Shark Teeth Excavation Blocks, contain fossils directly within the excavation material. Due to the naturally fragile nature of fossils, there is a small chance they may be damaged during excavation, so we recommend digging carefully.
Where do your fossils come from?
We source our specimens ethically through trusted wholesale suppliers, so every discovery is a real piece of Earth’s natural history.
Do you ship throughout New Zealand?
Yes! We ship nationwide throughout New Zealand, so you can discover a piece of Earth’s natural history wherever you are.
