Fossil sites of Australia - Naracoorte (948 words) |
 | The Naracoorte Caves Conservation Park was proclaimed under the South Australia National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. |
| Visitors to these spectacular limestone formations in Naracoorte Caves for over a century were unaware that nearby in hidden chambers a detailed record of the local fauna had been steadily accumulating for more than 3000 centuries. |
| The cave acted like a huge natural pitfall trap: animals that fell in were unable to escape through the high entrance and died, their skeletons lying nearly undisturbed for millennia. |
