Thanks for your donations!

The McGill 24 Seeds of Change project to create a Virtual Fossil and Dinosaur kit closed at midnight on May 26, 2020, and raised $2,069.78 from 9 donations (including $290 in McGill24 Matching Funds).

Thank you so much for your support!  This funding lets us continue our ongoing work to develop and create more e- resources for teachers and children everywhere to learn about the amazing world of fossils and Mesozoic dinosaurs. While some of our fossils are used for research by global experts (see the recent article about former Museum graduate student Alex Dececchi's work on T. rex here), many more of them have stories of historical intrigue and paleontological importance that resonate with the teaching community and the general public!

With your generous support we will continue to build and share those stories to make them accessible and fun at home for everyone every day.
