The Bronto Project to restore the vandalized brontosaurus at the Museum of Life and Science has a pledge of support — $2,000 from Bronto.com, a Durham software firm.
Meantime, the museum is looking into how much repairing the 42-year-old statue by Ellerbe Creek is going to cost — at least, for the initial step of reattaching the head and neck cut off in a nighttime attack May 31.
"We are working in concert with one another," said Nancy Rizzo, one of Project Bronto's organizers.
The project's steering committee is meeting Thursday to plan money-raising. A meeting last week to assess interest drew about 35 people, Rizzo said."The people that were there were really motivated," she said.
