Friday 15/7/11 From Richmond to Mt Isa


Yesterday we went fossil hunting near Richmond. This morning I took my find into the curators at Kronosaurus Korner, the fossil museum,  to verify what I had found.  They said that it was part of an Ichthyosaur snout, "most likely half of the top jaw as no teeth were displayed."  They took my picture to put on their web site.  The animal was probably about 5m long. 

We travelled towards Mt Isa.   On a designated over taking section we were over taking a road train (prime mover plus four trailers) when another road train came from the front.  It is quite an experience being sandwiched between two of these metal monsters
