Carcharodontosaurus Tooth

Company:  Astro Gallery was founded in 1963 by Julio Tanjeloff, a successful businessman in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who amassed a huge fortune in construction and mining before his properties were expropriated by the Peron regime during the 1950’s. Julio emigrated to New York City in 1961 and by 1963 started Astro Gallery driven by a passion for minerals and high-end collectible specimens.  With the unexpected death of Julio in 1988, his grandson, Dennis, too over the family business. By 2004, Dennis had re-invented Astro Gallery from a retail gallery to a worldwide mineralogical powerhouse – advising and curating top collections and museums, running a vibrant online business, participating in mining, and expansion plans into related businesses.  Astro Gallery remains a family business with Dennis still at the helm.
