LIGHTNING RIDGE 2017 FOSSIL DIG

Come with us to outback NSW to assist with real dinosaur and fossil research!

SEARCHING FOR opalised fossils is a privilege usually afforded only to miners and scientists. Now, you can share in the incredible discoveries, because, along with the Australian Opal Centre (AOC), the AG Society offers you a chance to hunt for fossils on the opal fields.We extend an invitation once more for our readers to join us in this endeavour and pitch in with the fieldwork. Guided by experts, you will go to special locations on the opal fields, seeking new specimens for the collections of the AOC. Your discoveries will further establish this museum collection as a world-class scientific and cultural resource. The week will also feature a series of lectures on opals and gems, mining history, opalised fossils, dinosaur hunting and new dinosaurs as well as evening activities.
