TLZ Enterprises, LLP was started in 2001. We provide educational materials related to the
paleontological sciences. Our goal is to provide quality products at reasonable prices.
In 2003 TLZ Enterprises, LLP acquired PaleoImages™. They produced a line of
museum-quality fossil replicas. This line of products fit well with our existing products
and we will expand the line as we are able to obtain specimens suitable for casting.
Our products are: fossil replicas, fossils, fossil sets, custom fossil jewelry, and a line
of clothing geared towards rockhounds in general. The fossil replica line of products will
include products which we manufacture and those made by other companies. At this point, the
replicas which we manufacture are flat pieces (with and without frames) that may be hung
on a wall or placed on a stand. Our pieces are trademarked as PaleoImages™. We also
carry a few pieces in this area that are manufactured by other companies. Presently, the
only three dimensional or free standing pieces that we carry, such as skulls, are being
produced by other manufacturers.
Currently, we are not offering any loose or separate fossils over the Internet. We are working
on a "Fossil of the Month" presentation of loose fossils which should answer this issue.
Look for this on the web site in the future. Our fossil sets are being used by colleges for
course study and individuals interested in learning about fossils. Grade school teachers and
home school parents especially like the larger sets with the color time chart and "An
Introduction to Fossils" booklet. We presently have four different offerings in fossil sets.
There are currently two different sizes: 25 piece and 50 piece sets. Both sets
are available with or without a color time chart and booklet. We are always
working on building larger sets. As they become available they will be added to the site.
Our fossil jewelry are all custom wire wrapped pieces. Customers may select pieces available
or request similar pieces with modifications where possible.
The clothing line was created with the rockhound in mind. The garments are well made and practical.
Each piece bears the Lithocanis™ trademark. Lithocanis™ is Latin for rockhound (Litho-for
stone or rock, and canis-for dog or hound). By adding americanus to the Lithocanis™ name we
create a species name: Lithocanis™ americanus (American rockhound). This species name can be
modified to fit your needs for a fee if you are interested. The following are trademarks of
TLZ Enterprises, LLP and their derivatives:
