My name is Lauren McClain. I started hunting and collecting fossils in 2013, but my love for dinosaurs started long before that.
Fossils have been an ever-present passion throughout my life, and my burning curiosity to learn more about them has taken me many places I never expected. From the dusty Badlands of Montana to the easy-flowing rivers of central Florida, and with every new find comes the opportunity to prepare and restore. With time and help from friends and professionals, I've honed my skills and discovered that I love the process of prep and restoration as much as the process of finding the fossils themselves.
The challenge of bringing a bone buried underground for millions of years to its former glory is one I truly enjoy. If you have a fossil bone, claw, or tooth that you would like prepared or restored, I'd love to work with you!
