The Femur Has Arrived

Friday, November 04, 2016

We are very excited to announce that the femur has arrived and is now on display at the museum!! :) The children from the local school were very excited to be one of the first groups to check it out.

Thanks to everyone who has donated to the crowdfunding campaign. It is still running so its not too late to donate. Without everyone's kind donations we wouldn't be able to begin the process of replicating #Australiaslargestdinosaur "Cooper".

If you want to get involved and continue the process of bringing cooper to life, check out or crowd funding campaign here.

How do you recognise dinosaur fossils’

Fossils are predominantly black coloured and will look different to other rocks in the same area, plus they are heavier than rocks. Often they are broken into irregular fragments and have a porous structure.

Interesting fact: Sometimes if you put your tongue on the rock and it sticks a little bit this can also mean it is a fossil.

About ENHM

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.
