Wonambi Naracoortensis – Giant Snake Fossil Dig

The discovery of the Wonambi naracoortensis and other fossils in the Naracoorte Caves in South Australia was an impressive find. It shed light on ancient megafauna and helped scientists and researchers understand the evolution and ecology of extinct species.

The Wonambi naracoortensis, a giant extinct snake, is believed to have lived during the Pleistocene epoch (around 2 million to 11,700 years ago). The fossilized remains of the snake have been found in caves and other locations in southern Australia, providing a glimpse into the past and the diversity of life that once inhabited the continent.

Replicas like this Wonambi naracoortensis fossil dig are an excellent tool for educating people about the importance of preserving and protecting fossil treasures for future generations. While the replica may not be the real fossil stored in a museum, it provides a hands-on and interactive experience. This can help people better understand and appreciate the unique megafauna that once lived in Australia and become more aware of the need to protect these resources for future generations.

If you need help bringing palaeontological fossil finds to life, Natureworks can help you build a museum-quality display.
