Tucked along Del Mar's main drag at 1327 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014, Dinosaur Gallery is a fossil, mineral, and crystal shop that visitors regularly compare to a natural history museum you can actually buy from. The storefront window alone stops foot traffic — a massive fossilized Megalodon shark tooth anchors a display of geodes, shells, and specimens that hint at the depth of inventory inside. Current owner Sibel Tuncel took over from longtime founder Gladys White (who still comes in on weekends) and refreshed the space alongside husband Jon, both jewelry designers who previously ran Mythos in La Jolla. Their renovation added a curated line of handcrafted jewelry using metals and semi-precious gems, plus the option to repurpose your existing stones into a collaborative new design. The gallery sits within easy walking distance of Stratford Court Cafe on Stratford Court, a popular breakfast spot where you can fuel up before browsing. The core collection spans fossils, crystals, opals, corals, meteorites, Native American fetishes, animal skulls, sculptures, and artwork — several pieces have earned first-place ribbons at the San Diego County Fair for best fossil specimen. Kids are not left out: dinosaur toys, including a talking model, fill one section of the shop. Sibel extends a discount to Del Mar residents and is known for gifting free healing stones to visitors. Art lovers exploring the village can pair a visit here with a stop at Gabrielle Benot Art Gallery for a full afternoon of one-of-a-kind finds along Camino Del Mar. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Sunday 1 to 5 p.m., closed Wednesday.
