How many more fossils are we yet to discover? 

You might not be aware, but there’s a stretch of land in outback Queensland that’s a hotspot for some really old dinosaur remains. And it’s keeping paleontologists busy! 

Every living thing that’s ever existed could leave a fossil and advances in technology mean we’re starting to discover a whole lot more of them.  

Dr Sophie Calabretto talks to Cosmos Magazine journalist Evrim Yazgin about uncovering fossils in 2022 and the farmers, to this day, stumbling over dinosaur bones in outback Australia.
