EXTINCTIONS Business Services does appraisals on museum, university, and private fossil collections for
insurance, tax, and dispersal purposes. We can determine the current market value for individual specimens
in a collection, or the entire collection as a whole. The collector must provide detailed photos and/or the
actual specimen(s) and as much information about the fossils as possible (provenance - scientific name, common
name, age, formation, country, state, county, or province). We also do identification services during an
appraisal if the information is not known (for an additional charge).
Minimum charge for report on EXTINCTIONS, Inc. letterhead is $100. Charge of actual appraisal time is
$50 per hour. If the number of specimens excedes 100, or if travel is needed, an estimate will be issued.
Fossil identification services are charged at $25 per hour, minimum one hour. Any questions? Please
contact us.
