Kitching Fossil Exploration Centre

Watch fossils being removed from rock and go on a fossil safari

This is a true exploration of fossils.

  1. Our trained guides will demonstrate the slow and patient process of removing fossils from a rock with an air compressed vibrating drill and high magnification. The removal process is called fossil preparation and skilled preparator can reveal the fine details of dinosaur embryos.
  2.  Our guides will take you on a half an hour safari of the Gats riverbed to search for fossils. They will show you how to tell a fossil from an ordinary rock and how the rocks themselves are fossilised beaches, river bottoms, and ancient soil surfaces. We guarantee that you will find a fossil and maybe even learn how to identify it and its body parts! Sorry that you can’t take your fossil home.

Learn about the legendary palaeontologist James Kitching, who as a local child found his first fossil at six and his first species at seven and decided to spend his life studying them.
