Camp.
Besides this ancient river red gum is where palaeontologist Dr Jim Gehling and other scientists regularly
camp when researching the ridges of the
Chace Range for Ediacaran fossils.
The Ediacaran fossils are the oldest known animal fossils, between 542 and 635 million years old. The species consist of many plants and animals found on the ocean floor, as
well as jellyfish, sea slugs, sea stars and worm organisms.
