Page last updated:15 September 2026
Learn about Australia's unique dinosaurs and how fossils can form. What exactly are fossils, how much bone is there remaining and what is permineralisation? Join us for this fascinating deep-dive into earth science to discover why fossils are so much more than 'just rocks'. This initiative is supported by Geoscience Australia as part of Earth Science Week and proudly brought to you by Virtual Excursions Australia.
