Dinosaur Dreaming



Inverloch is the Victorian coastal town near which the Dinosaur Dreaming site is located. About 145 kilometres (ninety minutes drive) from Melbourne, Inverloch is a very civilised place from which to do field research.

The site is a rocky shore platform called Flat Rocks, about five minutes' drive from the township on a stretch of coast favoured by surfers and fishing enthusiasts. This is where the Cretaceous mammal, Ausktribosphenos nyktos, was found in March 1997.

In summer, it's warm and inviting; in winter, wild and dramatic. Guess when field work is done...

For latest updates on work at the fossil site take a look at the Dinosaur Dreaming Blog.
