This book is about the people who discovered the fossils of animals and plants that have inhabited Australia for over 600 million years and how the fossils were found and, more importantly, gives insights into how palaeontologists view their own processes of interpreting what the animals and plants were like when alive, and the conditions under which they lived so long ago. Readers will go on a journey into the land of the Kadimakara, the animals of the Australian Dreamtime, revealed in large part by the energy, knowledge and enthusiasm of the scientific explorers.
