Prehistoric bedfellows: The 2003 excavation of Elliot the sauropod, Australia's largest dinosaur

After the successes of 2002, there were many expectations for the next phase of the excavation of Elliot the sauropod, Australia’s largest dinosaur. Once again the blacksoil plains near Winton, central-western Queensland, continued to bear forth their 98-95 million-year-old fossilised treasures, but this time there was a surprise in store for us: Elliot was not alone.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

During the 2002 dig, we located the siltstone horizon in which the sauropod bones were preserved. The 2002 pit encompassed an entire quadrat (10m x 10m), and went down to a depth of around 1.2m. The bones occurred in an east-west band, about three or four metres across. The goal of the 2003 dig was to follow this fossil-bearing horizon to the east and west of the 2002 pit.
