AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST DINOSAUR CALLED COOPER

In 2006 a group of palaeontologists began digging in the shallow rocks of the flats near Cooper Creek. They found fossilized bone fragments scattered in the area. Interest grew when very large leg/femur bones were found. The bones came from a dinosaur. The dinosaur would prove to be the largest one found in Australia. Take your students to Eromanga - a remote town in South-West Queensland. Follow the process that led from the assembly of bones to the giant skeleton. Visit the Museum and see how artists present Cooper.
