Quriosity Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Again a few crustaceans: these species are common in the Solnhofen Lagerstätten but their preservation never ceases to amaze me. The museum has one original Archaeopteryx (with the negative print as well): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quriosity Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Along with some exceptionaly preserved fish. The museum is still funding excavations, and several local collectors have put their recent discoveries on display. In the last three pictures the fish were found in the last two or three years. The preservation is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quriosity Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 And to top it all... On the way out there's a few rooms with archaeological material from the Paleolithic to the 19th century...
