Thylacoleo Leaping on Rock Base

This amazing sculpture of a leaping Thylacoleo carnifex brings the past to life! Showcasing this extinct carnivorous marsupial’s size, features and habits helps to build an educational, engaging story of Australian megafauna. This draws attention to the importance of biodiversity and the need for conservation.

The dramatic sculpture draws attention and enhances the visitor experience at the Riversleigh Fossil Discovery Centre at Mt Isa (read about the project here). The Centre’s educational displays help people see what ancient animals would have looked like, alongside fossils discovered in the area. Reconstructing these animals from fossil remains and scientific research demonstrates the value of such finds to our understanding of life on Earth.

Natureworks’ custom-designed sculpture of a leaping Thylacoleo on a rock base is shown here at the Riversleigh Fossil Discovery Centre in Mount Isa. The 3D sculpture display helps to build a visual educational and engaging story of Australian megafauna.

Visitor’s experiences are enhanced with displays that conceptualise what our megafauna would have looked like. This shows how valuable fossil finds are to understanding our not-too-distant past.
