Organised by The Etches Collection Museum of Jurassic Marine LifeWe are raising money to carry out the very important and challenging work of phase two of the excavation. We are looking for support to help with both the financial and logistical elements of the work to rescue the remaining body of the Pliosaur.
Can you help us...?
We hope that you are enjoying learning all about our new Pliosaur Skull that was featured on BBC1’s ‘Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster’. The skull is now on permanent display here at The Etches Collection.
There is an enormous amount of excitement around the scientific study of the specimen, which has the potential to unlock a treasure trove of secrets for many years to come. There is of course the possibility of a future excavation of the remaining Pliosaur body too. Would you be interested in helping to support us with this unique project?
Your donation will go towards this important and exciting scientific project to unearth the Pliosaur body. All contributions will go towards the cost of the excavation including:
Planning
Excavation Costs
Collection, Preparation and Preservation
Scientific Study
Gallery Updates
Education
“The excavation of the remaining Pliosaur body is a race against time and nature, so this is a priority for me, especially since we could lose important pieces of the specimen due to rapid cliff erosion. Any help that people can provide towards this unique fundraising opportunity, where you will play an incredible part in making palaeontological history, would be truly grateful.” - Dr Steve Etches, MBE
