15-Million-year-old Fossils Found, Outback

A cave in Sydney, Australia is home to amazing fossils that date back 15 million years, according to scientists now digging into the cave. They found 26 skulls of a prehistoric creature similar to the Koalas, among other incredible discoveries.

They also found bones that seem to indicate early ancestors of kangaroos. They even found babies that seemed to be in their mother's pouches. The scientists say these remains were remarkably well preserved, and should provide lotsof new insight into the origin of these species.

Scientists in Sydney have discovered a cave that contains fossils, which date back to 15 million years ago. The fossils are that of prehistoric marsupials in the Outback. The discovered fossils have similarities to the modern day koalas and kangaroos. The fossils were well preserved in the cave when scientists discovered it. The fossils included skeletons of young Nimbadon babies who were still in their mother's pouches. The scientists say the fossils were extraordinarily well preserved but they are surprised how the fossils were found together in one cave. But some theorize that the herds might have accidentally fallen into the cave.
