Robert Drachuk has moved to:

Tucson Electric Park/Kino Sports Complex
address:
2500 E. Ajo Way
tent space T 15 with Design Prospector

Fossil KitsAs usual, Robert Drachuk will have a wide array of fossils primarily from west of the Mississippi that are too diverse to list. For many years, Robert supplied fossils to companies providing educational fossil kits. This year he decided he could do that better himself. We agree, his fossil kits are both the best on the market, and far and away the best values. Teachers should visit his new web site: Educational Fossils.

Especially look for authentic Moroccan trilobites instead of the fakery often found from Morocco. We get our from Joe, because his are real.
