About Us
Maxilla and Mandible, Ltd.,
"The World's First and Only Osteological Store" was established in
1983, in New York, where it gained its initial fame. Today, having
grown to incorporate all branches of the natural sciences, Maxilla
& Mandible is a "World Renowned Natural History and Science
Emporium". In addition to our staff of paleontologists, entomologists,
osteologists, anthropologists, sculptors and master craftsmen, we also
employ outside experts in technical and scientific fields. Our
celebrated showroom is just the tip of the iceberg -we have extensive
laboratories, workshops and art studios which work in collaboration
with our elaborate network of supply stations around the world. With a
strong commitment to education, Maxilla & Mandible designs,
creates, and constructs permanent and travelling museum exhibits. We
are often called upon to appraise specimens and we are consultants to
curators of both private and institutional natural history collections.
Maxilla & Mandible has discovered many new and exciting fossil
species and has donated these scientifically important specimens to
museums. We have sponsored programs aimed at the reintroduction of
insect species back into the wild and have helped finance research
projects on biodiversity. Thus, our reputation and support is immense -
museums, universities, and scientific and zoological organizations,
have recognized Maxilla & Mandible as a powerful catalyst bridging
the gap between the public and the scientific community.
It
is the widespread positive publicity by all branches of the media that
has informed a world audience of our existence and aims. We are proud
to have pioneered the concept of providing museum quality specimens to
the general public. We are also delighted to have inspired and educated
so many in the aesthetic appreciation of nature and the importance of
its conservation. The trend we started 22 years ago is a testament to
our innovation; we are flattered by the numerous merchants and
companies who have followed; and we enjoy the positive reinforcement it
brings us. The general public has expressed such a tremendous amount of
goodwill that it enables us to continue in our undertaking with renewed
energy. This website is another milestone in the rapid and consistent
progress made by this company since its inception. It will continue to
evolve and expand, so visit often and share our journey into the world
of natural history. |
