Lonely Planet review for Southern Fossil & Mineral Exchange

This store – something like a curiosity museum where most everything’s got a price tag on it – can induce bone-­rattling nightmares. If you’re impressed by the selection of skulls from all creatures great and small, you can take some home with you. More subdued are the rocks on which ancient life forms have imprinted images of themselves. Pretty cool, even if it just ends up as a paperweight. A selection of animal puppets is just the thing to appease ­terrified children.
