About Us - Our Beginning

Buried History is a recently opened family owned and operated online store based out of Covington, Louisiana.

Our Goal

As a fossil enthusiast myself, I personally understand the importance of knowing every detail about a purchased fossil, especially of those found for sale online. This is why we provide the most accurate size possible for every item, along with its identity and any other available information. When you buy from us, we want you to know exactly what you are buying with confidence.

A Growing Inventory for Your Growing Collection

To ensure you have access to a variety of unique authentic fossils and minerals, we are frequently building connections with suppliers and importing new items. Our inventory is expanding quickly, and we’re regularly adding new items to our website. Because our online store is new, you may not see everything right away, but we’re working hard to make our full collection available soon.

Fossils to Build Your Museum

Not every fossil is displayed in a museum. Instead, only a small fraction of large collections actually end up on display at large museums. Although certain fossils are exceptionally rare, fossils themselves are found all over the world. The oldest fossil on Earth is currently 3.7 billion years old, and since then, countless numbers of organisms have lived and died. This abundance of fossils makes it possible for us to offer you real pieces of Earth's past for your own collection.
