The Tafeljura, with its diverse landscapes, offers fossil collectors a wide range of discovery opportunities. The rock layers of the Mesozoic era here range from the Upper Triassic to the Upper Jurassic, covering a time span of more than 70 million years. Fossils tell the story of these long-gone times when the Earth looked different than it does today, landmasses broke apart, and seas were newly formed. This book guides the fossil collector through the rock layers of the Tafeljura, from the salt marshes of the Triassic to the sponge reefs of the Jurassic Sea. Readers will learn where to search for fossils and how to excavate, prepare, and identify their finds. The book also serves as a resource for the hobby collector who is not only interested in accumulating fossils but also wants to learn more about the geology of the Tafeljura and its ancient life.
