Using ancient fossils and new methods to unravel Australian mammal evolution in deep time. This project will explore the evolution of Australia's unique mammal fauna by studying fossil mammals recently discovered at Tingamarra, a 55 million year old fossil site in north-eastern Queensland. In particular, it will help us understand the origin, radiation and diversification of Australia's iconic marsupials.
