Fossil Dig Two Day Tour For Six - NSW

'This tour offers an opportunity for participants to tag along with a palaeontologist. Visit a number of different fossil sites, help dig up fossils and learn how palaeontologists go about solving some of the problems that confront them when collecting fossils. Visit several fossil sites in the Central West of NSW. At Canowindra visit the world famous fish fossil deposit, and a few kilometers to the south dig up complete fish fossils at a quarry which was once used to supply road base for the region. Learn how and where to find fossils; how to collect them and how to make proper records of your finds. Learn how to identify them and how to make casts. Take a closer look at the rocks in which the fossils occur and with the help of your guide learn to interpret the fossil sites. Work out what kind of environment the now fossilised lifeforms used to live in, what the climate was like and what the now fossilised creatures might have eaten. Compare the different fossil sites with modern ecological niches. Hands-on activities, exciting discoveries, fine foods and fine wine and overnight accomodation in the region.'
