Alcoota

The Alcoota Fossil Beds are an important paleontological site located on Alcoota Station in Central Australia, 200 km north-east of Alice Springs. It is notable for the occurrence of well-preserved, rare, Miocene vertebrate fossils, which provide evidence of the evolution of the Northern Territory’s fauna and climate. The Alcoota Fossil Beds are also significant as a research and teaching site for palaeontology students.
