Digging Up Deep Time

Digging Up Deep Timetraces Australia's unique and fascinating prehistory through its extraordinary fossil sites. Australia is home to some of the world's earliest fossil finds - and home to some of its most unique. By investigating each important fossil site in the country, Paul Willis builds a picture of Australia's earliest history. As well as describing the fascinating ancient natural history of this country, the authors recount the rollicking stories of our dinosaur hunters - the Indiana Joneses of Australia - competing to find the most important new bones and to protect their discoveries. Using wonderful colour illustrations, photographs, expert findings, and fascinating stories and reconstructions, for the first time Australia's farthest past is brought vividly to life for enthusiasts of all ages.
