YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

For a quarter of a century a US palaeontologist and her family have been uncovering fossils dating back to the dawn of animal life, on a pastoral property in the Flinders Ranges.

Nilpena, has now transitioned to a national park, and after 43 years, the grazing family is preparing to leave the work to the South Australian community.

Landline's Kerry Staight reports on their legacy preserved in fossil stone.
