A small crew has been looking for fossils near Koonwarra. In 2009, Dr Tom Rich and colleagues had noticed that the Koonwarra sediment looked at bit like that in western Liaoning Province in China (the paper was called A potential Gondwanan polar Jehol Biota lookalike in Victoria, Australia and published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Victoria). So the team is looking for any sign that these sediments might contain feathered dinosaurs, birds, pterosaurs and mammal skeletons.
So far they have found a number of beautiful fish fossils.
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.
