Calling all paleontology enthusiasts…. Our one day palaeo digs are back!
Looking for a unique holiday experience the whole family can participate in? Kronosaurus Korner will be holding family friendly day digs during the school holidays! Yes – that’s right – real field experience – and children are welcome*. A full day for beginners of all ages.
By special request, our Curator has obtained permission to share one of her favourite dig sites over the school holidays! This site is not normally open to the public, so it’s a real treat!
Leaving Kronosaurus Korner in the early morning (7.30am), we will drive to the dig site, where our paleontologist will make sure you have all the training and tools. Fossils of marine reptiles, fish and invertebrates are commonly found at this site. In the afternoon (approx. 3.30pm), we will return to Kronosaurus Korner for a guided tour of the Palaeo Prep Lab.
Please note: It will potentially be hot. You will get dusty/dirty. You will find fossils that you can keep**.
WHEN: Monday, Wednesday & Saturday throughout 2019 QLD & NSW school holidays. Dates: April 10th – April 27th ; June 29th – July 10th ; September 21st – October 2nd.
