Professor John Mavrogenes (Mav) from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) is on site at Dolphin Point and describes dropstones and what can be inferred from their presence. This as part of a series of educational videos on the Earth science timeline. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Introduction to Earth systems'.

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors:
The characteristics of past environments and communities (for example, presence of water, nature of the substrate, organism assemblages) can be inferred from the sequence and internal textures of sedimentary rocks and enclosed fossils (ACSES028)
