Fossil Roadshow

Have you found a fossil in Bayside?

Ben Francischelli, palaeontologist and curator of Prehistoric Bayside, wants to hear from you. 

Bring along your fossil discoveries to our Fossil Roadshow where Ben Francischelli and Ruairidh Duncan will be on hand to identify and age your specimens. In addition, our citizen scientists will have items from their collections for you to get up close to.

If you can’t come along to our Fossil Roadshow, you can also register your fossil on our website here. 

Free event, booking essential.

Suitable for all ages.

It is an offence to cause damage to our natural environment or to remove fossils from the National Parks Act protected Rickett’s Point Marine Sanctuary. Excavating for fossils in any way – on land or in the water – is prohibited.
