Triebold Paleontology, Inc. was founded on a lifelong passion for fossils and an uncompromising commitment to scientific excellence. What began as a childhood curiosity on a farm in North Dakota evolved into one of the world’s most respected fossil preparation, casting, and exhibition companies.
Founded in 1989 by Mike Triebold, TPI has spent decades discovering, preparing, molding, casting, and mounting some of the most significant fossil specimens ever recovered. Our work is trusted by leading museums, research institutions, and universities around the globe because accuracy, preservation, and documentation are never optional — they are our standard.
From delicate marine fossils to large, complex vertebrate skeletons, TPI combines traditional hands-on craftsmanship with modern technologies such as 3D scanning and digital modeling.
