Materials & Ethics | Fossil Sourcing & Authenticity

Our Promise
All fossils and shark teeth we use are legally and ethically sourced. No materials from living or protected species are used. Each piece is artisan-made and intended as art/collectible décor.

What we use
• Naturally shed or fossilized shark teeth, ammonites, trilobites, shells, and mineral specimens
• Beach-found or legally purchased fossils from reputable dealers/collectors
• Eco-friendly resins, pigments, and responsibly sourced metals

What we never use
• Parts from living animals (no modern shark fins/teeth, bone, or skin)
• Materials from species protected by laws/regulations (e.g., CITES/ESA/MMPA-listed species, sea turtle shell, ivory, live coral)
• Cultural artifacts or items removed unlawfully from protected lands

How we source
• Personal collecting on beaches or private land with permission
• Purchases from trusted suppliers with clear provenance
• Select vintage/estate finds that comply with current regulations

Care & handling
