In Search of Ancient Queensland takes readers on a journey through deep time, showcasing the fossil collections and research of Queensland Museum and charting 250 million years of complex evolution on this continent.

Australia's fossil record is a window to our past, not only to our earliest lifeforms, but also to the changing environments and climates in which they lived. These are the oldest stories it is possible to tell about Queensland, and every year new finds add to our knowledge and understanding of the forces that shaped modern Australia.

Weaving together our state's remarkable geological and palaeontological histories and revealing the ancient origins of modern Queensland’s stunning landscapes, this beautifully illustrated and redesigned second edition of In Search of Ancient Queensland highlights new fossil discoveries, reflects scientific and technological advances in the field, and features new digital reconstructions of Queensland’s early fauna.
