The Etches Collection
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'.
