Welcome<\/h1>\n

Flinders Palaeontology is an inclusive centre of learning where researchers, students and volunteers work together to explore patterns in the evolution and ecology of vertebrates through time, and the environmental processes that have influenced them. Our research is global in scope, but we are especially committed to exploring the unique and understudied Australian fossil record.<\/p>\n

Main research areas<\/h1>\n

Our values<\/h3>\n

Flinders Palaeontology strives to embed six core values in everything we do.<\/p>\n

We offer our respect to Kaurna elders past and present.<\/p>\n

Our research and teaching activities take us to many different parts of Australia. We recognise that the sovereignty of these lands was never ceded by First Nations Peoples, and we respect their enduring connections to country.<\/p>\n
