Here, visitors will explore topics like the geological timeline, the fossilisation process, how dinosaur bones are excavated, and the various processes / tools that palaeontologists use in a dig site. Visitors even get to check out a holographic animation of the fossilisation process!
e) Laboratory
Find out what happens after bones are being excavated; how scientists figure out what the dinosaurs look like just from a few bones, and how they prepare the fossils from the rocks. There is also a Megalania Holographic viewer, a huge collection of specimens and a rotoscope to explore the reconstruction of a Iguanodon.
f) Dinosaur Dreaming
See displays of 8 dinosaur specimens and multiple fossils, and appreciate the amount of commitment and effort that palaeontologists put in to excavate and prepare these fossils. Includes an updated reconstruction of Timimus, a tyrannosauroid discovered at Dinosaur Cove in 1994.
