| The ray |
This generated a lot of discussion about what sort of ray it was... (since some of the crew had seen it and some of the crew knew about fish but they weren't necessarily the same crew members)

Museum Victoria and Monash University have conducted “Dinosaur Dreaming” digs since 1995. Originally at the Flat Rocks site outside Inverloch, Victoria, it has evolved to include localities along the Bass and Otway Coasts. Since 2008 this blog has shared images and stories of crew taking part in excavations, fossil bones recovered, and fossilly things we get up to between digs. The most recent dig took place at Eagles Nest and Twin Reefs for 10 days in February 2024.
I stick to my earlier diagnosis that the pretty ray is indeed a Spotted Stingaree - (Urolophus gigas). I have checked the excellent photo with the authoratitive publication by Martin Gomon - Fishes of Australia's South Coast.
