Скачать или смотреть Elliot, the first dinosaur | Building a Museum

In 1999, while mustering sheep on Belmont Station, north-east of Winton, David Elliott discovered a dinosaur bone. At the time, it was among Australia’s largest dinosaur bones, comparable in size to the Jurassic sauropod "Rhoetosaurus", found near Roma in 1924. The bone, part of a sauropod’s femur (thigh bone), belonged to a dinosaur nicknamed Elliot, after the Elliott family. This discovery would later become the catalyst for the creation of the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History.

Featuring archival photos and footage from the Museum, along with National Geographic footage, and David Elliott OAM, Australian of the Year Local Hero and Museum founder, at the original Elliot site.
