  • They get even bigger than this! Numerous giant predators roamed the oceans 5 million years ago. One of the most common finds in Bayside Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) are shark teeth. This incredible tooth belongs to Carcharodon hastalis, an ancestral form to the modern Great White. Based on tooth morphology, this was a macro-predatory fish that grew even larger than 6 metres in length... This flesh gouging triangle of bone was collected and prepared in our Vertebrate Palaeontology labs last week! Swipe to see the transformation. #FossilFriday #Palaeontology #MuseumLife #ThisIsMyMV #MuseumAtHome #lostworldofbayside

  • Fifty-one people died and dozens more were injured in the attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand on 15 March 2019. Many had migrated to New Zealand to study or work, and build a better life for themselves and their families. Some were refugees, who thought they had found safety. Australia’s migration and multicultural museums invite you to remember them on the first anniversary of the attacks. #MuseumsVictoria #Christchurch #NZ
