Messages from supporters
We were lucky enough to attend a tour of the museum by Mr Etches recently. We were very impressed with the passion, perseverance and incredibly hard work which together have generated such a fascinating and unique collection. The Jurassic seas really come alive! Many thanks and keep up the excellent work.
I visited the museum last week with my family and we were so impressed with what Steve and his team have achieved that we wanted to donate a little bit to help him continue his work. It would be fantastic if he could find the rest of the Pliosaur in the cliffs at Kimmeridge!
I saw a video about the giant "sea rex" and wanted to help. Good luck with getting it out of there!
I Like Dinosaurs and want to support the museum
Paleontology is a study of the past, for our future.
Keep up the good work, it’s totally fascinating.
I am keen to support this superb museum and the wonderful work of Steve Etches.
Paleontology is mind-bendingly fascinating and I'm delighted for you on your acquisition of the incredible pliosaur skull! Can't wait to see it in person (lifelong dinosaur and marine reptile enthusiast) and I hope it inspires many more people to appreciate the wonders of the Jurassic sea.
Glad to be able to help again. Keep up the good work.
To support the great work of Steve and all at this wonderful museum.
Visiting Kimmeridge delighted to support this museum.
Thank you for such an amazing day yesterday.
About The Kimmeridge Trust
The Etches Collection Museum of Jurassic Marine Life is a unique collection of marine fossils from ‘Deep Time’, 150 million years ago, and is of vital scientific value as it contains many new species from the Late Jurassic period. It is a gift to the nation by Dr Steve Etches MBE, a self-taught palaeontologist whose discovery, skilled preparation and research has changed our understanding of life in the Kimmeridgian period. The Kimmeridge Trust manages the museum which through its visitor income, funding and donations, is able to conserve and develop this growing collection as an international treasure. Visitors enter a virtual aquarium of 150 million years ago to vividly experience the story of these incredible marine creatures - how they bred, lived and died - some of which evolved to survive to this day.
