Fossiliensuche im Tafeljura

The Table Jurassic with its varied landscapes offers the fossil collector a wide range of find possibilities. The rock layers of the Mesozoic reach here from the Upper Triassic to the Upper Jurassic and cover a period of more than 70 million years. Fossils tell of these long gone times, when the earth looked different from today, when land masses broke up and oceans were newly formed. This book guides the fossil collector through the rock layers of the Tabular Jurassic, from the salt marshes of the Triassic to the sponge reefs of the Jurassic Sea. The reader learns where the search for fossils is worthwhile and how he can recover, prepare and determine his finds. The book is also intended as an aid for the hobby collector who is not only interested in the accumulation of fossils, but also wants to learn more about the geology of the Jura tablelands and life.
