Dinosaur Dreaming

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.

Showers

Today the tide kept us off the beach until 2:00 pm. Just as we arrived at site at 2:14, it started raining. Gerry was rather happy about this, since he had bet some of the crew that it would shower by 2:30, and hence earned himself a bottle of red. So we scrambled down to the beach, retrieved the rock we'd hidden to work on down there, and brought it back to the house. Soon after that, it stopped raining, so we broke rock for the rest of the day. Didn't find a huge number of bones and teeth, though.
Tomorrow is a full day at the house, and then we start early mornings on Thursday.
Last night a few of the diggers decided to check out the local pub after dinner. However, when it's not school holidays, the local pub shuts very very early on weekdays. A walk on the beach was a bit of a consolation.
