The information and documents published, in fact, may contain inaccurate data or typographical errors. In any case, the weights, dimensions and volumes of the products are indicative; in addition, despite all reasonable efforts being made to ensure that the colors of our products are displayed as accurately as possible, it is impossible to provide any assurance that the colors displayed on the screen by the User reflect exactly those of the products being delivered.
2.2 Geocollection reserves the right to modify, at its own discretion, the contents of the Site and the legal notes, at any time, without prior notice and without publishing and / or sending any information in this regard.

Despite careful control of sources, research published to date, many species names of the finds may be inaccurate or out-of-date. We are always grateful if an error is reported but the constant scientific study of the finds updates names and species, and unfortunately, many times the items purchased are sold with generic and / or incomplete local names. The geological formations, an indispensable data to understand many cases to which species a fossil specimen belongs, is not provided by the same foreign finder or dealer. This leads to indicate on the Geocollection site incomplete or incorrect data in its entirety, but not due to a lack on the part of the Geocollection but from the causes of the finding of some finds from some localities.
