Oregon’s Dinosaur Store Is One Of The Most Unique In The World

When you’re shopping for unique gifts, you normally look for items that are modern and new…but here’s a store where the merchandise is millions of years old. Check out Prehistoric Oregon:

It's not every day that you go shopping for merchandise that's millions of years old, but at Prehistoric in Lincoln City, you'll do just that.

Don't let the shop's resident greeter scare you - come on in!

The shelves at Prehistoric are crammed with all kinds of fossils, minerals, meteorites, and more.

Forget antiques - the unique items in this shop have been around since long before the first humans had even heard of shopping.

This store is as much a museum as a place to shop.

Many of the ancient treasures here have been turned into museum-quality art.

Take a look at this metal-work shark made from amethyst.

You won't see wall art like this anywhere else in the world.

You'll find bins nearly overflowing with all kinds of cool little treasures.

From the smallest ammonites...

...to the largest dinosaur bone, these items will pique your curiosity inspire your imagination.

Check out the fossilized megalodon and shark teeth!

At this shop, you're not only allowed to touch - you're encouraged! Prehistoric is more than just a shop that wants to sell you stuff; it's also dedicated to education.

Some of these one-of-a-kind treasures come with a hefty price tag...

...other items are much less expensive. You can crack open your own geode to find out what's inside for just $20.

There's so much to see at Prehistoric that you'll want to set aside at least an hour to browse here. The shop is open seven days a week, starting at 9 a.m..
