Riversleigh Fossil Centre
The Riversleigh Fossil Centre at Outback at Isa educates and interprets
for visitors the fossils extracted from the
nearby Riversleigh Fossil
Fields. Now a World Heritage Area, the fossils fields are home to
one of the most significant and exciting fossil deposits in the
world.
These finds have been depicted as dioramas and exhibited in an
authentic setting to illustrate the unique discoveries in one of the
world's richest fossil fields. Unlike many other fossil deposits, the
Riversleigh fossils are not just a snapshot in time, but a window on
the development of early mammal megafauna over the past 30
million years.
This classifies the Riversleigh Fossil Centre as unique among centres
offering 'fossil tourism'. The Riversleigh fossil deposit is the
richest and one of the most important fossil fields in Australia.
