The museum staff Geography Adam Yates said: We all timidly hope that this can be a place that definitely indicates the human interaction with the megafauna, but so far I can not argue. On the bones may be traces of a knife or human teeth, but we do not yet know. This is a very striking event, because fossil Diprotodon never before been found in northern Australia.
