When commercial photographer Steven Young began volunteering at the Eromanga Natural History Museum, he didn’t expect to call upon his creative background. The Museum, located 11 hours west of Brisbane, is home to Australia’s largest dinosaur fossil, and Young’s new research project, which sees him resurrecting prehistoric vegetation.
He is passionate about his work. “We sift through the soil,” he says, “looking for these microscopic traces. Once we find them, we send them to be formally identified by a paleontologist, and then attempt to grow them.”
