Experience the Eromanga Natural History Museum

Immerse yourself in enriching and rewarding experiences that take you into the world of prehistoric Australia. You can meet Australia’s largest dinosaur, visit a dinosaur dig site, join the dinosaur or megafauna dig team, learn to prepare fossils from the age of dinosaurs and the age of megafauna and stay on-site at Cooper’s Country Lodge.

Why do the Eromanga dinosaurs and the Eulo Diprotodon (Megafauna) have common names like Cooper, George, Sid, Zac and Kenny?

These are identifying names we give a new important dinosaur or megafauna discovery so we know which individual we are talking about. In many cases with the dinosaurs they will be scientifically described as completely new dinosaurs and then they are given a special scientific name. If they are not a new species then they will already have a special scientific name. ‘Kenny’ has a scientific name already, Diprotondon optatum.

About ENHM

Eromanga Natural History Museum is an education and tourism development near where the fossils of Australia’s largest dinosaurs, the Eromanga Titanosaurs are being discovered in South West Queensland, Australia. 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.
