Our enterprise

Spinosaure is the online store of  Eldonia , specialist in the preparation and sale of fossils and casts: T-Rex, Spinosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Triceratops, Ammonites, Trilobites, mammals, Arthropods...  Since 2002,  we work with  museums, artists as well as with many collectors in order to offer quality pieces and carry out your projects. (Musée des Confluences de Lyon, Oceanographic Museum of Monaco) We also rent  castings for exhibitions (  T-Rex, Triceratops …)

François Escuillié, paleontologist and director of  Eldonia  gives conferences and works with museums and universities in order to publish scientific articles on  paleontology and evolution.

Our  collaboration  with some  artists leads to the  creation  of works of art magnifying the treasures of the earth and the fossils.

 

For more information, we invite you to visit the website of  Eldonia  (Spinosaurus.com)  you will find our achievements and an overview of our work.
