Specializing in Preserved Botanical and Zoological Specimens
Who we are
My name is Gary Maxwell and I would like to let you know a little about the past history of our science supply.
In 1947, Mr. Paul Parizeau, established his first biological supply business. Throughout his long and industrious career in the biological field, Paul always showed his tremendous love of science and its’ importance to the future of mankind. In 1975, he created "Cormorant Biomarine Laboratory Ltd." Until his death in May of 2000, he steadily worked hard to produce quality preserved science material for science houses throughout the world.
In 1973, I began working for Mr. Parizeau. My position included field collection, preserving and eventually the management of the "Living Materials" department for over twenty years.
At the time of Paul’s untimely death, the Parizeau family asked me to continue on with the business. And although "Cormorant Biomarine Laboratory Ltd." no longer exists as a biological supply , Paul’s listings will continue to be available under "G.W. Maxwell" - Biological Science Supplier.
To our current customers, your past patronage has been most appreciated. I look forward to continuing our business relationship and invite all new customers to receive the current biological preserve listing by mail. Please see our "ordering" information.
