We survey property with fossils and provide owners with a comprehensive report. We also offer pre-construction surveys for roads, building construction sites, and oil and gas line construction sites.

Many landowners are aware they have fossils on their property. However, many are not aware that fossils are a surface right and not a mineral right. Deeded landowners therefore own all materials outright, such as sand, gravel, shale, clays, and fossils. The state and federal governments have no say over the fossils on deeded property. Fossils are a resource on deeded land and can be capitalized on adding value to property.

We will come to your land to survey the property and evaluate the value of the fossil resource there.
