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 can report that Lesley has looked at Dani's fossil and it has turned out to be a dermal ossicle, probably from an ankylosaur dinosaur. Lesley tells me that it was very easy to prepare, and popped out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLesley has confirmed that the two partial teeth found by Mary and Toni-lee are both fish teeth.
