1 agos 17963 anni a. C. - Largest known collection of ancient fossilised footprints

Descrizione:

The Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area, in western New South Wales, contains the world’s largest known collection of ancient fossilized human footprints. The Australian Museum used plaster casts and laser scanning to create detailed models of some of the footprints and reproduced the tracks of a young child from 20,000 years ago. The child, who was walking with a family group, seemed to have paused, turned and ran away alone.

These replicated footprints can be seen on Museum Walk at the entrance to the Museum on William Street.
