Australian Fossil Mammal Sites, Paleontological site in Queensland, Australia
The Australian Fossil Mammal Sites contain extensive limestone caves and fossil deposits spanning from the Oligocene to Pleistocene epochs in two distinct locations.
The Riversleigh section holds fossil records from 25 million years ago, documenting the evolution of Australian mammals through successive geological periods.
The Waanyi people maintain traditional connections to the Riversleigh area, incorporating the ancient landscapes into their spiritual and cultural practices.
The Riversleigh Fossil Discovery Centre in Mount Isa presents exhibits of discovered specimens and provides educational programs about Australian prehistoric wildlife.
Research at these locations revealed evidence of extinct species including carnivorous kangaroos, giant flightless birds, and oversized wombats from prehistoric Australia.
