From the Jurassic to now, your support makes science come alive.

Every fossil tells a story millions of years in the making.

This year, with the help of incredible participants, Elevation Science unearthed hundreds of fossils, including a sauropod discovery so beautifully preserved that it was affectionately nicknamed The Queen of Skywalker B.

Discoveries like The Queen remind us how science connects the past and present, why it is important to keep exploring, and how paleontology can inform and inspire us in so many ways.

Your gift today fuels the preparation, research, and continued excavation of The Queen at Skywalker B, ensuring that this extraordinary discovery, and the many still waiting beneath the surface, can inspire curiosity, learning, and exploration for years to come.
