Dinosaurs roamed New Mexico millions of years ago, and left behind fossils as clues for us to decipher who these creatures were, and how they lived. If dinosaurs, meteorites, and minerals fascinate you, you’ll want to visit Dinosaurs and More, a shop in Santa Fe that brings the past to life.
Dinosaurs and More opened its doors in 1995, when owner Charlie Snell decided to share his passion for rock hounding and fossil hunting with the public. You'll find this unique shop near the historic plaza in downtown Santa Fe.
The address of the shop is 110 Don Gaspar Ave., Santa Fe, NM 87501.
This shop is a treasure trove full of items that are millions of years old. If you're fascinated by fossils, you'll want to set aside several hours to browse through and scrutinize every unique item.
Fossils are displayed in a geological timeline, and the shop has everything from tiny fish fossils to a huge mammoth skull. Some of the fossils here date back more than 100 million years.
The owner has traveled all over the world in his quest for fossils and other ancient artifacts, and has also brought back an amazing collection of items including gongs from Tibet, singing bowls, and jewelry.
