Das Urweltmuseum Hauff needs you!

The private Urweltmuseum Hauff in Germany is at risk of closing and has asked for crowdfunding help. The museum has been hit hard by the COVID lockdown, which has resulted in a months-long loss of revenue from visitors and school groups. The museum has a major collection of Jurassic marine fossils, including ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs found in the Jurassic Holzmaden fossil beds, and has been an important resource of paleontologists and other researchers.

A few years ago, a study revealed the presence of blubber in ichthyosaurs based on a fossil from the Hauff collection.ÂÂ
