About Devonian Fish Fossils, Gift Shop, Visitor Information Centre. Open 7 days from 10am - 4pm except Christmas Day and Anzac Day morning Story The Age Of Fishes Museum houses a collection of Devonian Fish Fossils. This is the only dedicated collection in the Southern Hemisphere! 150 million years before dinosaurs roamed the Earth, almost all backboned animals lived in water, not on land. This was the Devonian Period or the "Age Of Fishes". A chance find near Canowindra NSW in 1956, and a major excavation of the same site in 1993, uncovered a remarkable fossil site. The site contained well preserved remains of thousands of bizarre, long extinct fishes encased in bony armour, other fishes with lungs and huge predators with crocdile like jaws, many of them new to science. The most important fossil treasures are now on display at the Age Of Fishes Museum in Canowindra. This unique "window in time" allows visitors to study what happened in Canowindra 360 million years ago. The fossils are supplemented by permanent exhibitions, gift shop, geological time walk, sculpture garden, outdoor picnic area and BBQ facilities. There are many hands on activities in the Museum such as the education den, giant games board, huge floor puzzles and fossil dig pits. Individuals and groups, please book in advance, are welcome between 10am and 4pm 7 days with the exception of Christmas Day and Good Friday. Other times are by appointment."A fascinating insight in to the Canowindra area 360 million years ago. Fossil galleries, interactive displays, garden area with sheltered picnic tables, children's activities and well stocked gift store. The Cabonne shire Visitor Information Centre is located within the Age of Fishes Museum building and is free to access."
