Visit the DinoDawn Expedition Web Site to get the full story.

Imagine brushing away millions of years of history to uncover the bones of creatures that once roamed the Earth in a nearly untouched dig site.

This a real expedition — and you can help make it happen.

The Mission

This May, our team led by experienced paleontologist Ricardo Araújo and supported by a team of international scientists, photographers, and adventurers, and an official flag expedition of the internationally renowned Explorer's Club

We’re embarking on a hands-on expedition to excavate, document, and preserve fossils from the Carnian Pluvial Epoch period — potentially discovering new species or contributing critical insights to science.

But here's the thing: fossil expeditions are expensive. We’re funding this ourselves with heart, sweat, and science… and now, we’re asking for your help.

$10-$499
