Unleash your inner palaeontologist!

Chinchilla Fossil Finders is the all-ages community event inviting everyone to unleash their inner palaeontologist and join in Queensland Museum’s exciting excavation efforts!

Help Queensland Museum palaeontologists sort and sieve through local sediment samples to discover and identify real fossils of all shapes and sizes.

There will be hands-on kids activities, mini train rides, giveaways, fossil displays and demonstrations. Plus, you can bring in your own rocks or fossils to be identified.

Food and drinks will be available for sale.
