Texas Vert Paleo Collections needs your help! As a Research Associate, I've benefitted greatly from the expertise and efforts of the folks there and have gotten to study amazing specimens. They need more room, and more help to manage their one-of-a-kind collections. hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/29867

Thanks for the feature!

Our Integrated Pest Management specialist needs your help! We have 5 days to go and halfway to our fundraising goal of $15,000 to hire him some undergraduate help conserving our collections. Don’t worry, our Tokay Gecko eats the bugs so we don’t have to. hornraiser.utexas.edu/texasvertpaleo

Our Texas Vert Paleo Collections is hosting a fundraiser for a student worker! Hear from collections director Matthew Aaron Brown about the critical curation work your donation will help support. More info and give: hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/29867 youtu.be/oSQp1DtWLOM

We’re not horsing around, our fundraiser ends in three days and we have a commitment to match all donations up to $15,000! Help us reach our goal to fund undergraduate collections positions and your donation will be doubled! hornraiser.utexas.edu/texasvertpaleo #modernmonday #museums #atx

My first hands-on experience with fossils was volunteering at Texas Vert Paleo Collections, and I’ve since gained valuable experience working with their collections. Your contribution will help maintain the facility and hire undergrads to have this experience too! hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/29867

16 hours to go in the final stretch of our campaign! THANK YOU to our generous friends and supporters who raised $10,600 so far. 100% of all contributions will go directly to creating paid undergraduate student opportunities to work in the collections. HornRaiser.utexas.edu/texasvertpaleo

Last Halloween, we shared the story of the "mummy's curse" - a collection of mummified rodent bones inherited by Texas Vert Paleo Collections. We're happy to say the curse has lifted! Some sense (and skeletons) have been made from what started as a mess of bones. jsg.utexas.edu/news/2021/10/m…
