At Cuddie Springs is a fossil site containing Diprotodon and the Thunder Bird.
2.
Following flooding in the creek in 2011 bones of diprotodon were found on the property.
3.
The closest surviving relatives of " Diprotodon " are the wombats and the koala.
4.
Until recently it was unknown how many species of " Diprotodon " had existed.
5.
Diprotodon died out only around 50, 000 years ago, so its fossils may actually retain some organic material.
6.
The marsupials remained the dominant Australian mammals, with herbivore forms including wombats and kangaroos, and the huge " Diprotodon ".
7.
In 2010 the station manager, Stuart McKechnie, found the fossilised remains of a Diprotodon sticking out of a riverbank on the property.
8.
He identified similarities between it and its fossil relatives " Diprotodon " and " Nototherium ", which had been discovered just a few years before.
9.
Other animals found in the Cuddie Springs habitat include the flightless bird " Genyornis ", the red kangaroo, " Diprotodon ", humans and many others.

Hi, I've been interested in buying a fossil for my girlfriend's birthday ( a diprotodon tooth actually : possibly one of the silliest examples of megafauna ever )!
