The Surf Coast beaches draw large crowds<\/strong> every summer to swim and <\/strong>frolic on the sand, oblivious to the <\/strong>hidden treasures embedded in <\/strong>the rocks and cliff faces above the <\/strong>shoreline.
\n<\/strong>
\nYestin Griffiths knows only too well the history preserved there; fossils dating back 26 million years, and with every tooth, vertebrae and bone discovered, his desire to share the experience deepened.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up on the beach and surf along the coast, I\u2019m a member of the Surf Coast Longboarding Club and also come from a geology background,\u201d Yestin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was with the Geelong Gem and Mineral Club and was just an amateur fossil collector. It all began with a school project for my daughters, I found a few things that the Melbourne Museum was excited about and I\u2019ve ended up working up there every Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yestin said his girls were studyingdinosaurs and prehistoric animals at primary school so he thought it would be a good opportunity to take them to look for fossil shells.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I could explain how fossils come to be, and when we were leaving I picked up my bag and directly underneath was a fossil. It turned out to be some Mammalodontidae vertebrae dating back around the 26 million mark,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA week later I found another slab with nine or 10 pieces in the slab and it just got me hooked. Every time I go for a surf I go for a bit of a walk and have a look along the beach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing about the Surf Coast is that if we get a bit of a hide tide and big swell it can move things around a little and you start finding things.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a bounty including several skulls, vertebrae, ribs and teeth from multiple creatures, including the Isurus desori (narrow toothed Mako shark) dating back 24-26 million years, Yestin said he decided to post his finds online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe museum\u2019s palaeontologists have \u2018Fossil Friday\u2019, so I thought rather than posting willy-nilly I\u2019d post regularly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aim will be to see if the posts on the Surf Coast Community Noticeboard get enough interest and then I\u2019ll do a separate page just on fossils from the Surf Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people find things and take them home thinking they\u2019ll get in touch with the museum, but three years down the line it\u2019s still in a drawer and they\u2019ve done nothing about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would then hopefully become a forum where people can get in touch with us if they\u2019ve found something and we can give them responses directly.\u201d<\/p>\n

While his posts have attracted a lot of attention with people blown away by the rare findings, Yestin reiterated the importance of ensuring people stayed safe while searching.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a new lot of people, field naturalists or \u201ccitizen scientists\u201d who are going along the Surf Coast and finding these interesting things: whale vertebrae and ribs and teeth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA huge part of it is the safety aspect. We don\u2019t want people going up to the cliff and digging into them, a lot of people have contacted me and asked where they can look for fossils.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to promote safety. The cliffs are very unstable from Jan Juc through to Point Addis. Most of the fossils are found around the shore platforms and in rocks, even in some of the rubble, it\u2019s just about getting your eye in to try and find them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yestin said it\u2019s an indescribable feeling extracting fossils at the museum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the thing that\u2019s blown me away since I\u2019ve been working there, I\u2019m working on the fossils I\u2019ve found and I\u2019m the first person to see this stuff in millions of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking in this field also it makes you think about your significance in the world and that sort of thing. We\u2019re here for a speck of time, these animals we\u2019re taking out of the rock are millions of years old, so it\u2019s very humbling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yestin said he hopes to awaken people to the rich history within the rocks and cliffs and share the unique experiencing of discovering fossils.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it would be good to educate people. A lot of people approach me when I\u2019m at the beach and ask me what I\u2019m doing and they\u2019re surprised fossils are there.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people know about the surf history and the history of Torquay but this is another layer that not many people know about; some of the cliffs go back 26 million years.\u201d<\/p>\n

See page 69 for the Australian National Surfing Museum\u2019s Fossil Beach exhibition.<\/p>\n
