Quinkana fortirostrum – Megafauna Reptile

Quinkana sculpture – Australian Megafauna reconstruction

The Natureworks sculptors are currently reconstructing the other land-dwelling Pleistocene giant being Quinkana fortirostrum. This 5-metre land-dwelling genus of crocodile that lived in Australia from 24 million years ago to 40,000 years ago.

Belonging to a group of crocodiles that now only exists in fossils, Quinkana’s remains have been discovered at the renowned Bluff Downs in Queensland. These findings have provided invaluable insights into the mysteries of the past and allowed us to recreate this extraordinary creature with accuracy.

Do you have an interest in prehistoric animals, natural history, or sculpture. It has the potential to be a stunning centerpiece in museums, galleries, and private collections alike.

New 3D Sculpt of a Quinkana Megafauna Reptile

This apex predator along with the largest megalania was one of the largest Australian Megafauna predators. North Queensland was home to a diverse range of megafauna, including giant kangaroos, giant wombats, and large marsupial predators.

Some of these animals were so large that they were among the largest mammals ever to have lived on earth.

Despite their size and impressive adaptions many of these animals became extinct about 40,000 years ago. Today, their fossils and remains provide valuable information about the prehistoric environment and the evolution of Australian unique fauna. This terrestrial crocodile was discovered in the Chillagoe Caves of North Queensland in 1970 by Lindsey Hawkins. Ralph Molnar first described QUINKANA as a genus in 1981.

Interesting Note: The word QUINKAN is a term for “spirit” from Gugu-Yalanji people of North Queensland. Quinkana figures are depicted in rock art in Cape York.
