Our Story

Mike Triebold founded his fossil collecting and exhibits company, Triebold Paleontology INC., in 1989 seven years after he began to seriously pursue fossil collecting. The company quickly became recognized as providing some of the highest quality prepared fossil specimens in the industry with exhibits created for institutions around the world.

Since its founding, the company has rapidly expanded to offer everything from industry leading 3D scanning and printing services, traveling exhibits, and a giftshop division among other projects. In 2004 the Dinosaur Resource Center was opened in Woodland Park, Colorado, to provide a public showcase of TPI's work.
