Could the Dinosaurs Survive without Oceans

Did you know that without oceans, neither dinosaurs nor humans would exist? From the first bacteria to the towering dinosaurs of the Mesozoic, Earth’s oceans have shaped life for billions of years! Australia is home to some of the planet’s earliest life forms – stromatolites – ancient bacteria that pumped oxygen into the oceans, making life as we know it possible.

Join the Australian Age of Dinosaurs team to discover how oceans have kept life going for billions of years – and why they’re still the key to our future!
