Melbourne’s Bayside suburbs are home to the most important urban fossil sites in Australia. Extraordinary fossils of prehistoric sharks, whales and other sea creatures provide a unique window on Australia’s oceans from 5 million years ago. Your help in funding surveys of these sites and the discovery of new fossils will help us gain critical insights into the history of Australia’s sea life, allowing us to better understand and preserve these natural wonders. Support ground-breaking research & exploration of the unique Bayside fossils before we lose this unique opportunity.
