Another dinosaur dig done!! As always you never quite know what to expect when you are digging up dinosaurs but this year certainly turned things on its head in terms of what we expected. We were fully expecting that the Monty site may dry up and then we would move onto another site close by. The unexpected happened and we found ourselves moving down the bone bed onto a bone jamb of beautifully preserved dinosaur bone all safely encased in the surrounding mudstone. Not only this, we found another dinosaur, smaller than the first one found in this bone bed two years ago, so, for now, we have Mr and Mrs Monty! ...read more

Imagine the mammoth task of being placed in front of a bucket of megafauna mud and being told to find fossils the size of a pin head. Well this was the task ahead for our newest volunteer Steve Young. A commercial photographer from coughs harbor enjoys the small finer things in life, like taking photos of minuscule fungi’s. Luckily for us, Steve wanted to develop he interest in microscopic things and share his skills with us and help build our collection. After two weeks of working through less than a millimeter in size sediments, Steve’s collection of finds was extensive and exciting and including that of a partial lower jaw from a small 100,000-year-old Gekkonid. With a heavy heart Steve left us and will be returning again later in the year. ...read more
After two years of waiting the ENHM team are back at it again, at the Eromanga Dinosaur Dig. Starting on the 10th of May for 2 weeks we will be hard at work continuing the excavations from our promising new dinosaur Monty. Unveiling of this new dinosaur site began in 2015 and since has seen to become the resting place of the largest concentration of large sauropods in Australia and unearthing another individual representing the largest dinosaurs in Australia. This is not only the first dig since ENHM has been open, but the first Dino Dig that we are taking on paid participants. This once in a life time opportunity gives everyday people the chance to experience life as a Dino Digger, uncovering what lies beneath with a great group of people. ...read more
Welcome to a brand new Australian dinosaur museum! Eromanga Natural History Museum is an exciting new education and tourism development near where the fossils of Australia’s largest dinosaurs, the Eromanga Titanosaurs are being discovered in South West Queensland, Australia. These dinosaur discoveries were first found 2004 and now you can finally see these amazing bones and teeth, learn about the discoveries and even help clean the bones or join a dig. Over eighty, dinosaur (95-98 million years old) and much younger megafauna sites are being found in this internationally significant paleontological hotspot in the heart of Australia. Our vision is to become a regional Centre of Excellence for Arid Australia Palaeontology and a major tourist destination for Outback Australia. Stage 1 is complete and Stage 2 is planned to start very soon.
