9 Best Dinosaur Fossil Gifts for 2025

A dinosaur is a perfect gift for anyone! (because why would you be friends with someone who doesn’t like dinosaurs?) Nothing is cooler than being able to give someone an authentic fossil from a real dinosaur... and that's just what we've got here!

Here is a list of our 9 favorite dino fossil specimens, from the creatures themselves, to the world they inhabited. Start your dinosaur exploration for the perfect gift for the amateur paleontologist in your life!

Let's start the list off strong with one of our favorite specimens: a real piece of fossilized dinosaur dung.

The poop in question came from a sauropod... don't worry, it’s a rock now.

This is the perfect gift for someone starting their collection with a sense of humor!

Topping out at just over 18m long (59ft), Spinosaurus is one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs ever discovered. This family of giant theropods also happens to be among the most surprising creatures in the fossil record.

These fossils are naturally worn crown and partial roots from a real Spinosaurus tooth from the Kem Kem fossil beds of Morocco. We have a whole collection of these pieces available!

Measuring 40ft (12m) in length and weighing upwards of 14 tons, Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest and most powerful terrestrial predators in history.

Our collection has both T. rex bone and T. rex teeth fossils available! All of our material was recovered on private land in South Dakota from the Hell Creek Formation. These are incredible gifts for anyone who loves dinosaurs!

Want to collect a piece of both these iconic dinosaurs? Check out the Hell Creek Bundle for a discount!

The Hell Creek Formation of North America is one of the most famous fossil-hunting locations in the world. Spread over portions of North and South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, Hell Creek is a unique time capsule, capturing the final years of the dinosaurs as well as many other flora and fauna.

The Hell Creek Bundle captures two of the formation's most iconic dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops!

Armored with twin rows of bony-cored plates and sharp tail spikes, Stegosaurus is one of the best known of all dinosaurs.

This specimen is a fragment of Stegosaurus plate, recovered from the Skull Creek Quarry in Colorado. This private quarry is part of the Morrison Formation. Specimens from this location date to the late Jurassic Period roughly 150,000,000 years ago.

One of the most heavily armored dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth, Ankylosaurus's plating consisted of not bone but hardened skin, known as "osteoderms." These plates, or "scutes" lined Anklylosaurus's back, neck, and tail, protecting it from the sharp teeth and claws of Cretaceous predators.

This specimen is a fragment of an Ankylosaurus "scute." It's an iconic piece of an iconic dinosaur!

Before they could grow up to be enormous, earth-shaking creatures, dinosaurs hatched out of simple eggs like these specimens. These eggshells were laid by a Hypselosaurus; they started small, but after reaching maturity these sauropods topped out at 12 m (40 ft). A dino eggshell is a great gift that shows the origins of these massive creatures.

Atlasaurus was a massive sauropod that could shake the earth it walked upon under its weight of 15 tons. This is a beautifully polished cross-section fossil from the giant dinosaur, exposing the incredible interior pattern of its bone. Each fossil comes with a clear acrylic stand, making it the perfect gift for someone who wants to show off their piece.

An authentic Triceratops fossil that fits in your pocket!

The Triceratops is one of the most iconic dinosaurs of the Mesozoic, though it was also one of the last to appear in the Cretaceous fossil record, just two million years before the K/Pg extinction event. It walked on four legs, with a recognizable bony frill, three horns on its head, and a beak-like mouth.

This specimen is a real Triceratops frill fossil from the Hell Creek formation in South Dakota, over 66 million years old!
