Lecture
Lake Callabonna Museum Collecting 2024.
Thursday 6th February 2025 at 7:00pm
Lake Callabonna is Australia’s oldest fossil reserve. Thousands of large marsupials and birds became bogged in the lake bed between 50,000 and 42,000 years ago when continent-wide extinctions of the megafauna occurred. Seeing that the Australian Age of Dinosaurs (AAOD) Museum (Queensland) collection was lacking megafauna for their upcoming giant museum, Tom Hurley initiated the dialog that saw funding from AAOD facilitate Flinders University guiding and collecting large fossils. This is the story of the museum collecting trip.
