Ulrich’s Fossil Gallery has been at the forefront of fossil excavation and preparation in Fossil Lake. An artist and entrepreneur by nature, Carl Ulrich, with the help of his wife and business partner, Shirley, turned what began as a hobby into an enterprise that would set the standard for fossil purveyors of the Green River Formation.

Carl was known far and wide in the paleontology community as as a master preparator, developing meticulous hand-preparation techniques that are still used to this day. His work can be found in museums, fine galleries, and private collections around the world, including the Smithsonian Institute.
