Fossil Preparation Services in Sheffield
Restore, protect, and showcase fossils with expert preparation and restoration services in Sheffield. At Chris Traxon, we offer museum-grade techniques to reveal the full beauty and integrity of vertebrate and marine fossils.
Fossil Cleaning and Stabilisation
Removing debris and stabilising fragile fossils is our first priority. We use micro-abrasive tools and adhesives tailored for fossil material, ensuring long-term preservation.

Fossil Reconstruction and Gap-Filling
Missing or damaged sections can be carefully reconstructed. Our work respects the original fossil’s integrity while restoring structure and form for better presentation and study.
Finishing and Display Preparation
For collectors, researchers, and institutions, we offer aesthetic finishing to prepare fossils for exhibition or study. This includes surface enhancement, support bases, and protective coatings.
