Week 13 - Dinosaur Trail

Winton/Australian Age of Dinosaurs  & Lark Quarry/Dinosaur Stampede

Star Rating:★★★★★

★=Full Star☆=Half a Star

Who thinks dinosaurs roar? I certainly did, before I went to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum and laboratories! They made me wonder...did dinosaurs actually roar. Because, there is no evidence! The scientists just made an educated guess! Dinosaurs could have made any type of sounds, they could have not even made any sounds at all! That was only one of the many things I learnt whilst at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum & the Dinosaur Stampede!

There was one room were there was fossilised footprints which the team from the Australian Age of Dinosaurs, painstakingly slowly, moved from where they found it up to the top of the mountain were the museum is based!👇

We got to see heaps of life sized dinosaur models, some of them were tiny and some of them were HUGE!

There was some amazing views from the top of the mountain where the museum is located!👇

We got to touch some of the fossilised bones! They felt bumpy, nearly like crocodile skin.

We got to see how they prepared the bones and fossils and how they removed the dirt. It takes a very long time!👆👇

We saw some incredible fossils in the Preparation room and the Collection room!👇

There was heaps (over 3000) of different dinosaur footprints at the Dinosaur Stampede, which is the only place in the world where evidence of a dinosaur stampede has been found!👇

Richmond & Hughenden

When we went Kronosaurus Korner in Richmond and the Fossil Museum in Hughenden what we saw was unexpected... awesomely unexpected! We got to see heaps of fossils and fossilised marine dinosaur bones found in the area- some were nearly complete skeletons found by regular local people.

At Kronosaurus Korner we saw an almost complete skeleton of a plesiosaur, it looks amazing!

A saltwater crocodile bottom jaw compared with a Kronosaurus bottom jaw!👆

There was heaps of amazing fossils (we even got to see some of fish and shells) in the museum!👇

                             

                                                    

                                                  

There was many cool scenes with dinosaurs and sea creatures from many millions of years ago!

At Hughenden there was a huge reproduction of seven metre-tall Muttaburrasaurus whose bones were found in the area!
