20 million year-old fossils
Riversleigh, in the northwest of the state of Queensland, Australia is an area of around 100 square miles that's dotted with the fossils of mammals, birds, and reptiles. The entire area as well as some of Naracoorte is protected and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
