Age of Dinosaurs and Lark Quarry By Toby

One of the must do things, which we of course did, is visit the Winton age of dinosaurs museum and  the lark quarry dinosaur stampede.

The dinosaur museum consists of many fossils including the famous 'Banjo' and 'Matilda'. Our first tour was through the lab, a shed where fossils are cleansed of rock and pieced together, and to work there you had to be at least 12 but to work in digs you had to be 18.

The Lark Quarry dinosaur stampede was caused by a large theropod ambushing 86 small coelurosaurs and 70 small ornithopods. No bones were found, only the footprints of the dinosaurs. 



All the tiny divits you can see are dinosaur footprints 
well preserved in mud.
