VAMP: Virtual Australian Museum of Palaeontology
Description
Introducing VAMP! The Virtual Australian Museum of Palaeontology is a digital collection spanning 600 million years of evolution. On this episode, Adele has a yarn with the three palaeontologists behind VAMP: Dr Aaron Camens, Dr Alice Clement and PhD candidate Jacob van Zoelen.
VAMP includes Earth's earliest multicellular organisms, giant marsupials, fossil footprints and everything in between.
It's a place where anyone, including palaeontologists and members of the public can check out high-resolution 3D scans of Australian fossils.
VAMP is led by Flinders University, in collaboration with the South Australian Museum (SAM), Western Australian Museum (WAM), and Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT).
