Found a Fossil. Digs, Discoveries and Australia's Deep Past (en Inglés) - Sally K Hurst

What would you do if you discovered a fossil?

Imagine stumbling upon a fossil or an Indigenous artefact during a walk in the bush, on a quiet beach or across your family farm - what would you do next? While fossils and artefacts are different in their formation, preservation and significance, they're both part of the incredible array of heritage objects and sites we can find across the Australian landscape.

Found a Fossil bridges the gap between curiosity and action, providing an accessible guide to uncovering Australia's rich prehistoric and cultural heritage. Combining palaeontology, archaeology and science communication, this book explores the stories behind fossils and Indigenous artefacts, how they connect us to the past and the responsibilities we hold in preserving them.

Drawing from the groundbreaking Found a Fossil Project, palaeontologist Sally Hurst shares her research and engaging stories of Australian fossils and dinosaurs, her experiences doing fieldwork and the curious finds people sometimes send her.

Whether you're a seasoned science enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Found a Fossil offers a fascinating journey into Australia's deep past - and the role you can play in safeguarding its future.
