🦴🐟 Bringing a Giant Predator Back to Light 🐟🦴

Our technicians are currently working on the delicate preparation of an extraordinary Xiphactinus skeleton preserved in slab — a massive predatory fish from the Late Cretaceous seas, measuring over 3 meters in length.

Often nicknamed the “bulldog fish,” Xiphactinus was one of the apex predators of the ancient oceans, equipped with huge jaws, sharp teeth, and the ability to swallow enormous prey whole. Some famous fossils even preserve their last meals still inside the body cavity.

Preparing a specimen of this scale is an extremely demanding process. Every millimeter of rock must be removed with precision to reveal fragile bones hidden for nearly 100 million years, while preserving the natural integrity of the fossil.

In our experience, we have also worked on a fully mounted 3D specimen of the same species — an exceptionally rare and complex undertaking. Mounting such fragile fossil bones in three dimensions requires deep anatomical study, structural planning, and countless hours of precision work to achieve both stability and scientific accuracy.

This is not just fossil preparation — it is a combination of science, craftsmanship, engineering, and patience.
Slowly, one of the great predators of the Cretaceous seas is emerging once again.

From fossil to relic: how the 15-meter Basilosaurus skeleton was transformed into contemporary art. Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren drew inspiration from ancient skeletal crowns (image 4) to construct this abstract sculpture. The bones are arranged in an altar-like composition - never before attempted with dinosaur remains. Steel coral branches extend from the crown, each holding spheres of fossilized coral.

Fossil Passion: Is your collection fully compliant? 🏛️⚖️

Collecting paleontological specimens is a fascinating journey through time, but it requires strict adherence to international regulations. Navigating the bureaucracy of import/export permits, certifications, and cultural heritage laws can be daunting, even for the most experienced collector.

At Zoic, we do more than just preparation: we provide a comprehensive Technical and Regulatory Consultancy service. From due diligence and provenance verification to customs procedures and SUE certifications, we guide you every step of the way.

Our mission is to ensure that every piece in your collection is held in full compliance with national and international laws, protecting both the specimen's value and your peace of mind.

Turn uncertainty into documented security.

Now available on our eBay store: a large and beautifully preserved Mesolimulus walchii, a fossil horseshoe crab from the legendary Solnhofen Limestone of Germany — one of the world’s most famous fossil Lagerstätten.

Dating back to the Late Jurassic (~150 million years ago), this remarkable specimen preserves the iconic horseshoe-shaped carapace and elongated tail spine with exceptional clarity against the fine limestone matrix.

Often called a “living fossil,” horseshoe crabs have remained astonishingly similar for hundreds of millions of years, making specimens like this both scientifically fascinating and highly collectible.

📍 Eichstätt, Germany
🕰 Late Jurassic – Tithonian
📏 Fossil size: ~15 cm
🪨 Slab size: 23 × 13.5 cm
🌍 Worldwide tracked shipping available

An outstanding display fossil for advanced collectors, galleries, natural history enthusiasts, or exhibition projects.

From stone to life.

Our team has transformed a flat slab of Jurassic limestone into a three-dimensional masterpiece: a Stenopterygius quadriscissus from Holzmaden, Germany.

While the Posidonia Shale preserves fossils in extraordinary detail, they are almost always found flattened. We chose to release it.

The result: A 2.7-metre-long marine reptile, fully reconstructed in volume.

Bringing a fossil back into 3D requires more than skill—it takes 80 days of precision. Every bone was extracted from the pyrite-rich matrix, cleaned, and scientifically assembled into a dynamic, anatomically correct posture.

Five experts, 80 days, one 180-million-year-old predator.
It no longer just exists on a surface. It walks back into space.

Un gigante tra i piccoli atleti 🦌❄️
La Trieste Spring Young ha visto correre il futuro, ma in Piazza Unità c’è qualcuno che arriva da un passato lontanissimo.
Il Megalocero (Megaloceros giganteus), con i suoi spettacolari palchi da 3,5 metri, continua a sorvegliare l'Expo Centro Maratona. Questa scena, curata e ricreata dal team di Zoic Srl, non è una semplice esposizione di ossa: è un frammento di vita del Pleistocene che riprende forma.
L'incontro tra Scienza e Narrazione
Il lavoro di preparazione di Zoic ha un obiettivo preciso:
👉 Ricostruire in modo realistico le dinamiche di caccia dell'Era Glaciale.
👉 Mostrare come branchi di lupi potessero sfidare un colosso simile con strategie collettive.
👉 Trasformare la ricerca paleontologica in un’esperienza visiva che lascia senza fiato.
Mentre la città celebra lo sport e il movimento, fermatevi a osservare la maestosità di chi, migliaia di anni fa, correva per la sopravvivenza nelle steppe ghiacciate.
📍 Piazza Unità – Expo Centro Maratona
🗓️ In mostra fino al 2 maggio
Un’occasione unica per vedere da vicino il lavoro di un’eccellenza triestina come Zoic Srl.
