The Best Tools for Fossil Hunting

Did you know that CobraHead tools are actually excellent for fossil hunting? Over the years we've received several letters from folks using our tools in their professional work and their hobby excavations. 

Recently we received this message in our inbox:

Hello there,

My name is Mike Stoller, I am the Excavations & Collections Manager for the Charleston Center for Paleontology. We are a paleontological research institute based here in Charleston, SC.

I just wanted to reach out and let y’all know that you are making a fantastic product over there!

Due to the nature of the sediments, and general conditions we’re working with, it’s been difficult finding tools that meet our unique needs. After scouring the internet for some time I finally came across y’alls og weeder & cultivator and it has honestly made my life so much easier! I know it wasn’t the tool’s intended purpose but It turns out it’s a perfect tool for our paleontological excavations.

Anyway, just wanted to give credit where credit is due. I have a relatively small crew at the moment, but as we grow as an institution I will definitely be purchasing more of your handiwork. Thanks again for doing what you do, hope y’all have a great day!

All the best,

Mike
P.S. I’ve attached a pic of our most recent find out at the field site, uncovered using the cultivator.

Mike & Company were using the CobraHead Original Weeder & Cultivator tool. 

Thanks, Mike, for sharing your awesome find with us. We’re glad to play a small part in the work you do!

We’re thrilled that paleontologists are discovering not just fossils, but CobraHead tools, as well. You might also remember this story from a couple of years ago, when a fossil hunter used her CobraHead Weeder to help excavate a 15-million-year-old dolphin skull!
