More opal fossils for sale

A Theropod dinosaur tooth for sale on http://www.opalauctions.com/auctions/opalized-fossil/item-38074 for $80 000 Australian dollars. This is an unusual fossil coming from the opal fields in Queensland. Certainly a rare fossil. Good to see that Australians value their fossil heritage !

Still no sign of wet season in Mount Isa

Mount Isa last Friday

Despite occasional storms in the remote outback town of Mount Isa, the dams are at all time lows. The towns main water supply has ~120 days of water left. Mount Isa has been drought affected for several years with no sign of rain over the hills.
