ONLINE EVENT - The Great South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Fossil Debate with Associate Professor Diego Garcia-Bellido
South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ is home to a rich fossil heritage, from the earliest big life found anywhere in the world, to the giant wombats and kangaroos that roamed the Adelaide Plains… From the extraordinary predators of the Cambrian oceans, to the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs that swam in the Eromanga Sea. But which of them is the most significant? What time period in the history of life represented in the South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n fossil record is the most awesome? And why?
