You never know what to expect when the lights go out at #qldmuseum. 😂
Do you recognise this T-rex? Last spotted in Dinosaurs Unearthed. Approx. 2m tall, aged 66-90 million y.o. We are urging anyone with further information to come forward. 🦖😉 #DinosUnearthedQM

The dinos were up early this morning to get their practice in for #InternationalYogaDay. 🧘🦖
Even fossils need to work on their wellbeing - and like us, they love savasana. Schedule in some 'me time' with a visit to Dinosaurs of Patagonia. 🎟️ bit.ly/Patagonia-QM #PatagoniaQM

Fossil preparation @qldmuseum Always so satisfying revealing what lies hidden. #FossilFriday
Such an exquisite marine reptile specimen. abc.net.au/news/2022-12-07/f…
Removing sediment to reveal the ornamentation on this Trionychid (soft shelled turtle) shell was so satisfying this week. Still loving working in the new QM Hendra fossil preparation lab. Everything is so shiny and new😀 #FossilFriday
