The Eromanga Natural History Museum in Outback Queensland is topping Mother’s Day gifts this year by naming a new dinosaur after two mums who work there.

A sauropod dinosaur that was unearthed during a dig last year has been named JoJo in a tribute to Joanne Wilkson, a founding supporter and educator, and Jo Pegler, who is Laboratory Manager and a founding staff member at the museum.

“Sauropods typically abandoned their young. So while our JoJo may have been a neglectful mother millions of years ago, we’re using her to celebrate two women who are not only fabulous mums, but are also key to the work we do at the museum,” Museum co-founder and Director Robyn Mackenzie OAM said.
