I waited a very long time to find the right Oldowan pebble tool from Africa for my African display. I found a really nice one at timevaultgallery. The basalt cobble the tool displays very fine windblown weathering patterns of a superior quality that is so actively sought after by collectors and researchers. The provenance is solid and indisputable.

I’m really pleased with my purchases (four items), which were even better than as pictured, and arrived promptly. Before purchasing, I left a voice mail with a few questions, and John called back promptly to answer them and provide more background information. I will definitely be checking back from time to time for new items.

Fossil was shipped within a short time of making the purchase. Fossil arrived in a display box and was exactly as described - a high quality specimen of a rare Cretaceous mammal tooth. Extremely satisfied with all aspects of this transaction. Time Vault Gallery is a professional source for quality specimens, and I hope to do business with them again.

I've always preferred purchasing an item "live", but my confidence in making purchases from Time Vault Gallery has grown over time. Rare, quality, genuine, artifacts, with a true, verifiable history, at an acceptable price, delivered exactly as represented, quickly and certainly........every time. Excellent service to an esoteric market.

Reliable site, excellent artifacts. My only suggestion is having an option to have your artifact sent in a display box or maybe selling display boxes on the side. My handaxe was wrapped in bubble wrap, and while it was perfectly okay, it made me a little nervous. Great company, very satisfied!

Response from Time Vault Gallery· Feb 2, 2023
Thanks for the great review. I think we're one of the few companies that includes a free display case with most items if one fits. The big issue is they must make a display case that fits the specimen. For most hand axes, they don't make a deep enough case for the thickness of the hand axe unless you go with a briefcase size box, which would not look right.
Wonderful products that are aesthetically pleasing as well as true to their descriptions. Time Vault seems to curate their offerings more than some online fossil companies, making it easier for someone like me who doesn't want to dig through hundreds of marred pieces to find what I'm looking for. Highly recommended.
