Our Mission
This May, our team led by experienced paleontologist Ricardo Araújo and supported by a team of international scientists, photographers, and adventurers, and an official flag expedition of the internationally renowned Explorer's Club
We’re embarking on a hands-on expedition to excavate, document, and preserve fossils from the Carnian Pluvial Episode period — potentially discovering new species or contributing critical insights to science.
But here's the thing: fossil expeditions are expensive. We’re funding this ourselves with heart, sweat, and science… and now, we’re asking for your help.
Led by experienced paleontologist Ricardo Araújo and supported by a team of international scientists, photographers, and adventurers, the expedition explores promising dig sites beyond the known fossil beds, largely unexplored. Our discoveries come from one of the few places in the world that captured this exceptional moment in time — offering a rare window that could reshape our understanding of dinosaur and mammal evolution.
Our mission:
- Discover new species of dinosaurs and mammals
- Confirm the first evidence of the Carnian Pluvial Episode in the Northern Hemisphere
- Document the expedition through the lens of our expert photographers
With boots on the ground and tools in the earth, Ricardo, our in-field guide from Portugal, is leading us across rugged terrain and into ancient history. This could be one of the most significant paleontological discoveries of the decade.
Stay curious. Stay wild.
The age of dinosaurs is calling.
