Latest NewsBack from France Saint Marie has come and gone again. I'm back in the shop, or at least what's left of me after the mosquitoes had their fill. Brought a few things back in my hand luggage, but the rest won't be too far behind. It'll be taken to Bristol on Friday and re-packed along with a couple of additions before the final leg up to Edinburgh. Shiny stones

A few of the things I brought back with me... Some different meteorite types, including new pieces of the Swedish Muonionalusta, Mars rock, and lunar meteorite material. Got a great deal on some fantastic Ethiopian opal - beautiful colours. Some dionsaur teeth and a great Carcharodontosaurus claw. Lots more to come.

Our firm started in Livingston, near Edinburgh, Scotland in 1983. Stan Wood‘s discoveries have given the firm an international reputation. So far they have amounted to numerous fossil plants and over 30 new species of animals, including the world famous "Lizzie"- the oldest reptile ever discovered! This is a proud record of discovery, a process we are constantly engaged in.

At first Stan Wood supplied museums with fossils for research and display, then in 1988 the firm opened a shop, allowing public access to our Scottish fossils and to fossils from all over the world. The original shop is situated in the Grassmarket, at the centre of Edinburgh's historic Old Town.
