Discover Authentic Reptile Fossils—Ancient Prehistoric Treasures

Welcome to the Reptile Fossils Collection at Fossil Age Minerals, the place to find authentic, completely fossilized remains of reptiles that lived on the planet. This careful selection includes the strong marine hunters and almost all land reptiles, spanning several million years of reptilian evolution and demonstrating the diversity of reptiles that ruled the land and sea.

What Are Reptile Fossils?

Reptile fossils are the remnants or traces of ancient reptiles that have been preserved—reptiles that were air-breathing vertebrates and were either covered entirely or partially with scales or bony plates. Fossils of this type may comprise bones, teeth, vertebrae, and other hard parts that have been preserved over time, providing a glimpse into the era when reptiles were the world's most dominant creatures, before mammals and birds.

Reptiles made their entrance very early on in Earth’s history and eventually branched out into many different forms:

• Land reptiles such as the earliest lizard-like creatures and their relatives, the crocodilians.
• Water reptiles, among which were forceful swimmers such as Mosasaurus and Ichthyosaurus.
• And special groups such as sea dragons, long-necked plesiosaurs, and many more.

Every fossil represents a chapter in the story of the planet’s changing climate, the evolution of life, and the survival of creatures in very different, and often very harsh, ancient ecosystems.

Explore Our Reptile Fossil Categories

Our Reptile Fossils category features a broad range of specimens—from rare individual bones to spectacular species collections that excite both new collectors and seasoned paleontology enthusiasts.

Marine Giants & Ocean Predators

• Mosasaurus Fossils—The most representative top predators of the Late Cretaceous marine environments.
• Globidens & Halisaurus—Not as famous but still very interesting mosasaurs with special adaptations.
• Ichthyosaurus Specimens—Reptiles resembling dolphins that dominated the seas of the past.

Land-Based Reptiles

• Champsosaurus Gigas—Long-snouted freshwater reptiles whose fossils uncover vertebrae and skull elements in great detail.
• Phytosaurs & Postosuchus—Primitive crocodile-like destroyers of prehistoric river ecosystems.

Other Remarkable Types

• Crocodile Fossils—Ancient relatives of the current crocodilians that ruled the rivers and swamps.
• Turtle Fossils—Time capsules of slow-moving armored reptiles that thrived in various conditions.
• Permian Age Reptiles—The early reptilian ancestors illuminate our understanding of the first land vertebrates.

Why Collect Reptile Fossils?

Reptile fossils are more than objects—they are natural history artifacts that bridge millions of years.

• Scientific Value—Helping researchers trace evolution, behavior, and paleoenvironments.
• Educational Appeal—Perfect educational tools for classes, museums, and home study.
• Collectible Intrigue—All fossils are different, with strains and formations that tell the story of the Earth over millions of years.

Fossilized reptiles are available for you to get your hands on if you are looking for a great centerpiece or to build a specific collection.

How to Choose the Right Fossil

• Age and era—The oldest fossils, such as Permian reptiles, mark the beginning of reptile life.
• Species significance—Some fossils, such as Mosasaurus, are symbols of the most famous prehistoric predators.
• Condition and completeness—Specimens with denser bone structure are of more scientific and visual importance.

Each item in our collection includes details about its geological age, discovery location, and authenticity—so you can collect with confidence.

Fossils That Tell Stories

Fossils of reptiles serve as a bridge to some of the most eventful periods in Earth's history—the times when oceans were full of snake-like predators, the first lizards and other reptiles were exploring the land, and the sounds of large extinct carnivores were heard in rivers and swamps.
