About to head off...
Hey all.
For the next 2 weeks I will be unavailable - am about to participate in a Museum Victoria/ANU expedition to the Qld/NT border in search of fossil fish. We will be camping out in the desert, c.150km from the nearest settlment. This particular site (Early Devonian - c.390-400 million years old) represents Australia's oldest freshwater fish fauna and has produced some truly bizarre forms not known from elsewhere -

If we have time we may go fossiking for dinosaurs/marine reptiles in nearby Cretaceous sites.
