The text discusses Riversleigh a place in Australia that is considered to be of “Authorized Heritage”. It is a place rich with fossils and Cenozoic deposits.

The important thing this chapter has allowed me to think of is how importance is granted and for what motives are things about a culture or identity are exalted or marginalized.
