University of Queensland research has confirmed Brisbane's only dinosaur fossil is Australia's oldest, dating back to the earliest part of the Late Triassic period 230 million years ago. The 18.5-centimeter footprint was discovered by a teenager at Petrie's Quarry at Albion in 1958 but remained unstudied for more than 60 years.
