Dinosaur discoveries depend on farmers

“In western and south west Queensland, they are digging for treasures from the past – and coming up with finds that will keep palaeontologists busy for decades”, says Keiren McLeonard (ABC Bush Telegraph 29 August 2012).  Read the full article here.

Giant marsupials’ graveyard unearthed in Queensland

Scientists working with OGF say they may have unearthed the fossilised skeletons of up to 40 giant marsupials in south-west Queensland.

Dinosaur finds put state in spotlight

A dinosaur rush is on in the state's far southwest. The remains of one of the largest dinosaurs found in the world and the largest in Australia have been uncovered, with Queensland Museum paleontologists tipping more major discoveries to come.

Working on Australian dinosaur and other fossilised fauna by Outback Gondwana Foundation ©

Australian dinosaur and other fossilised fauna and flora from Australia’s newest palaeontological frontier in South-west Queensland, represent specimens that are new to science and dinosaurs that are some of the largest and most complete in the world.

Outback Gondwana Foundation is helping to bring these scientifically significant and unique discoveries to the world.

Dinosaurs are only part of the fossil, cultural, geological, floral and faunal diversity of South- west Queensland.

Outback Gondwana Foundation endeavours to enhance our knowledge of this diverse and complex environment by providing the opportunity to conduct research and field-work within the contextual area of discovery.

 

The Outback Gondwana Foundation’s Mission is:

 

“To discover, preserve and display, Outback Australia’s dinosaur and fossil heritage, cultural heritage and natural history, in their native environment, for the education and enjoyment of all.”

 

Natural History Museum

Eromanga – South West Queensland

 

The Outback Gondwana Foundation was established in 2008 and is one of only a few of palaeontologically-oriented not-for-profit organisations in Australia. It runs the Eromanga Research Field Station and Dinosaur Preparatory Laboratory and acts as the public research body for the proposed regional natural history museum for South-west Queensland.
