View product ↗1. Bring Your Paleontology Collection Into Everyday Life
Deep Time Discoveries transforms prehistoric anatomy, fossil forms and species stories into wearable, tactile and illuminated products. The collection allows your visitors to continue exploring deep time after leaving the gallery through objects designed for everyday use, gifting and collecting.
2. Create an Exclusive Minnesota Deep-Time Story
We can develop an exclusive assortment inspired by your signature specimens and Minnesota’s fossil heritage, including Triceratops, T. rex, the Wannagan Creek biota and Castoroides ohioensis, Minnesota’s official state fossil. This would give your store a locally relevant collection that visitors cannot find elsewhere.
3. Engage Children, Adults and Collectors Through One Collection
Rather than serving only the traditional children’s dinosaur market, Deep Time Discoveries connects multiple audiences through coordinated products, from accessible magnets and glow-in-the-dark gifts to sculptural jewelry and collectible décor. This creates a cohesive retail story across different interests, occasions and price points.
