The ghost of both of these is evident from the fossils found in the area," said Adele Pentland, a doctoral student in paleontology at Curtin University in Australia and lead author of the study ...
Materpiscis (Latin for mother fish) is a genus of ptyctodontid placoderm from the Late Devonian located at the Gogo Formation of Western Australia.Known from only one specimen, it is unique in having an unborn embryo present inside the mother, with remarkable preservation of a mineralised placental feeding structure (umbilical cord).
McGraths Flat is an Australian research site containing fossils and other evidence of animals and plants that existed in Miocene Australia. Located in central New South Wales, specimens at the site are in an exceptional state of preservation, described in paleontology as a Konservat-Lagerstätten, deposited in unusual conditions that record microscopic details of soft tissues and delicate ...
The Warrawoona Group is a geological unit in Western Australia containing putative fossils of cyanobacteria cells. Dated 3.465 Ga, these microstructures , found in Archean chert , are considered to be the oldest known geological record of life on Earth.
Skinnera is an Ediacaran-aged fossil found in Australia. It was discovered by A.L. Halliday and M.M. Bruer near Mount Skinner in the locality of Anmatjere, [1] in the Northern Territory of Australia some time before 1969. Mary Wade of the University of Adelaide originally formally described Skinnera as a medusa.
The first evidence of marsupials in Australia comes from the Tertiary, and was found at a 55-million-year-old fossil site at Murgon, near Kingaroy in southern Queensland. The Murgon fossil site has yielded a range of marsupial fossils, many with strong South American connections — unsurprising since the two continents were both a part of ...
A rare fossil of an adolescent Tyrannosaurus rex has been excavated in North Dakota's badlands - a find noteworthy for the scientific insight it may offer into the life history of this famous ...
Gogonasus (meaning "snout from Gogo") was a lobe-finned fish known from three-dimensionally preserved 380-million-year-old fossils found from the Gogo Formation in Western Australia. It lived in the Late Devonian period, on what was once a 1,400-kilometre-long (870 mi; 760 nmi) coral reef off the Kimberley coast surrounding north-western Australia.
