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 Twin Reefs for 3 weeks in February 2025.

Namibian rangeomorph
Those of us particularly fond of dinosaurs, or even more broadly vertebrate palaeontology, were puzzled a few years ago when dig volunteer David Elliot and scientist Pat Vickers-Rich started spending their time looking at the soft-bodied animals of the pre-Cambrian. But those animals have turned out complex and very pretty indeed. Check out the Peter Trusler reconstuction on the cover of the Jounal of Vertebrate Paleontology http://www.psjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1666/12-074R.1.
