Learn about a unique collection of Jurassic fossils!
Welcome to The Etches Collection - a modern museum & centre for learning in Kimmeridge on Dorset's World Heritage Jurassic Coast. We are home to nearly 3000 amazing fossil specimens all collected from the Kimmeridge Bay locality. The majority of our fossils were found by one man - our founder - Dr Steve Etches MBE. Our mission - to tell the fascinating story of Life & Death of the diverse marine life that swam in the Jurassic seas of Kimmeridge, Dorset, 157 million years ago.
Through our videos you can explore what goes on behind the scenes, as our Head of Collections - Dr Steve Etches - collects, prepares and conserves the stunning and exquisite, weird yet wonderful fossil creatures - many of which are new to science, unravelling & unlocking their secrets, revealing their 'stories from deep time'.

Bc ye hamra college ke liye project bana diye 😂
Amazing ❤
Love in it❤😁😄❤️💛💚🥰🆒
I love the work ❤🥰😀😃😄😁😆
I love the work ❤😃
Being with a pliosaur in open water means instant death.
Amazing find!
Yes it was! Thank you.
I would imagine that a corporate sponsor such as JCB would go a long way in covering some of the heavy plant costs.
We are hoping that we can manage to gain such sponsorship but we have had no such luck just yet!
WOWZER. Well saved
Thank you.
Damn! What a lucky and spectacular find! Congratulations! 🎉😍😍
Agreed. And the more Steve hunts, the luckier he gets 🙂
@nicknugent6749 Wish that were true for me! Heading out into the field as we speak, so wish me luck! 🙏🏻
@alexandermelchers1497 We hope you had a successful trip out, did you find much?
@@TheEtchesCollection Actually, almost surprisingly, yes, as this was the first time I found a significant amount at the site (Maastrichtian Cretaceous at the type locality)! Thanks for asking! I've still got a lot of matrix to sort through and am hoping for at least a few more teeth - if not one from the ever elusive mosasaurs - but with a score of nine sharks' teeth so far, it's proven far better than my previous visits! Still, nothing compared to the sites you've got over in the UK...!
@@alexandermelchers1497 Excellent 😎. Well done!
WAIT! This is before the etches collection was built???
It was indeed!
I love this place. Soo many memories. I will continue to come here as long as I am able.
We are glad to hear you are so passionate about the museum :)
I remember clambering over the spoil heap of a building site near where I lived as a eight year old (sixty-odd years ago, so no H&S) to find dozens and dozens of Gryphaea and taking them to school the next day to hand out the Devil's toenails to the other kids. 10 years later, on a geology field, trip trying to extract an intact Palovia rotunda from the cliffs at Chapman's, which invariably ended in heartbreak. And now my kids have started referring to me as ''the fossil'' which I don't mind, as I've always though of fossils as something special.
I first visited this stretch of coast when I was 17 during an 'A' level geology field trip some 50 years ago and have been back countless times over the years. The feeling of wonderment at finding ancient sea creatures in the rocks has never faded and I doubt it ever will.
That feeling is still what drives steve on even now!
Our average life expectancy is infinitesimal when compared to the age of the Jurassic fossil record. I imagine discovering and curating the collection puts an even greater emphasis on how brief our time on earth is .
Working around these collections does serve as a remainder to how small a part of earth's history we individually are. But even so it remains hard to comprehend the scale of it all, even just our small 5 million year slice of time.
You’re going to have some real dusty hands by the end of that 😂
Honestly the state of steve after some of his days in the workshop is quite the sight 😂
When I get out of college I’m spending a week down at the etches collection!
Where was it found?
Abcess? That's the maxillary depression, present in most goniopholidids and thought to house a gland of some kind (probably for excreting excess salt). Lovely specimen.
Great story, superbly told, thanks. You also imparted a lot of useful advice on the do's and do nots, very helpful.
Richard is a great story teller and has some amazing knowledge and experiences to relay. We personally found this a really insightful introduction to the geology of swanage.
I used to go rock climbing on the Swanage cliffs in the eighties and often saw ammonites, some of them quite big. I remember seeing the best one on a climb named Gymcrack, it was about one metre diameter. Never saw a croc though...
Finds like this arent common but can be found there :) This was just a particulaly lucky day for Richard.
Superb video!!!
Thanks a lot!
Predator x 😳😳😳
Where did you get that rucksack Steve. The "L" shaped frame seems ideal if you have a heavy load. Looks like you've haf it specially modified.
They are from a company called tatonka and can be found here: www.tatonka.com/en/product/lastenkraxe/ They are designed for load carrying and work out particularly well with flat slabs.
Fascinating. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome specimen!
It is amazing, we are glad it is currently on display :)
Good to hear how you are looking to the future. And how much you prioritize education.
It's imperative to us to be forward thinking and to strive to be museum that doesn't just exist but evolves.
Is that a tylosaurus mosasaurus or Leo
Pliosaurus
