Description of Richmond
Richmond is 499 road klm West of Townsville
Richmond came to the attention of all Australians in 1989 when the skeleton of a 100-million-year-old Pliosaur was discovered near the town. It was the second major discovery of an important fossil in the area. The famous Kronosaurus queenslandicus was discovered at Army Downs north of
Richmond in 1929 by a team of palaeontologists from Harvard University. The area is rich in fossils as it was once part of
Australia's vast 'inland sea'.
