Enter the cave where you can study the fossil footprints of ancient animals,
plants and insects, some dating back from as long ago as 600 million years!
To put this into perspective, the dinosaurs became extinct just 65 million years
ago.....
The only direct way we have of learning about dinosaurs is by studying fossils.
The study of the prehistoric world provides the individual with a lifelong
interest that is as variable as it is dramatic in length of time from the
initial building blocks of life, to the birth of insects, plants, dinosaurs and
even mankind - the science of Palaeontology.
Fossils inspire us to consider prehistoric life in the context of former
environments and appreciate how global events have shaped the modern world.
