The Found a Fossil Project
What would you do if you discovered a fossil, or an Indigneous artefact?
Natural and cultural heritage material, from fossils to Indigenous artefacts, are not always found by scientists or archaeologists. More often, they are found by farmers, bushwalkers, beachgoers, and beyond. Yet, the perspectives of these groups are often left out of the conversation. Who might these people tell if they discovered something? Would they bother telling anyone? Who would they trust with their finds? Who do they distrust, and why?
To answer some of these questions, the Found a Fossil Project was created to provide information about heritage protections, identification, and handling guidelines to the finders of these special heritage discoveries.
