CANOWINDRA - Ages of Fishes Museum
CRITERIA Pictogram og M1 criteria Pictogram of the M2 criteria    

Imagine a world ruled by fish! Long before the dinosaurs the mighty rivers of the Central West teamed with bizarre ancient fishes. Thousands of their fossils were found at Canowindra and give a unique glimpse into life during the Devonian Period - the 'Age of Fishes'.  A chance discovery in 1955 revealed an extensive fossil bed dating from the Devonian Period. This 360 million year old formation contained the fossilised remains of over 3500 freshwater fish. Many were new to science. This unique fossil collection is now on public display in the township of Canowindra, only a short distance from the discovery location. The Museum displays many of these beautiful fossils together with live aquarium displays and wonderful recreations of life in the Devonian Period.  The museum is accessible to tourists with disabilities.
