Kronosaurus Korner is a must see if you are ever in this area. The map above shows how the land mass and the water (seas) retreat have left ideal situations for fossilization.
The display here is very comprehensive (with an audio guided tour of all the exhibits), and considering that the majority of the exhibits have been found in the very local area it is fascinating.
So much so that Stephen and I went out to the Public Fossicking area just outside of town and we found something..well a fossil anyway...but we have no idea what it is!!!
The picture within a picture...Stephen up to his normal tricks.
This place is primarily dedicated to displaying marine reptiles and is the home of the Richmond Pliosaur (above) and also Minmi, both of which have been dated over 100 million years old...now that's old.
