What a fabulous Fossil Festival!  Our thanks to everyone who visited our stand at the Lister Gardens marquee, Sue and I were extremely busy over the two days of the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival.  It was a wonderful location to officially launch our new range of scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models.  We had the first figure, a Tyrannosaurus rex on display.  In addition, we had brought some of the prototype model packaging too.

Collaborators Dr Dean Lomax, Bob Nicholls and Glen Southern visited our stand.  It was the first time that they had seen the packaging and a production figure.  We were so busy that Sue and I did not have time to take any photographs.  Our thanks to everyone who sent in pictures.

Evolution Unearthed at Fossil Festival

It was definitely a case of “Evolution Unearthed” as we officially launched this new range of beautiful, scientifically accurate prehistoric animal figures.  Furthermore, we had a poll asking visitors to help us decide where we go next after the Hell Creek Formation collection is completed.  Over the course of the two days, we had a vote every seventy-five seconds.  Our stand was extremely popular!

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Lyme Regis was a fabulous location for us to give Everything Dinosaur Evolution its official debut.  The town is synonymous with both palaeontology and geology.    Our new range of models aims to inform and educate, and the Earth sciences are at the heart of everything we do.  It was wonderful to be able to channel my inner Mary Anning as I talked about how the fossil record shaped the design and development of our T. rex, its display base and the product packaging.”

These are exciting times. We wonder what Mary Anning would have made of it all.  Our thanks to the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival organisers and all the volunteers who helped to make this event so special.  It was great to meet many of our customers too.
