This year’s excavation at the world-famous Bromacker fossil site in Thuringia has come to an end and was a complete success. Research into the newly discovered prehistoric dinosaur bones and small skeletons, trace fossils, prehistoric crustaceans, plant impressions and insect wings will provide further insights into the ecosystem at Bromacker 290 million years ago. Over 2300 visitors took the opportunity to exchange ideas with the researchers. The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the Friedenstein Foundation Gotha, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the UNESCO Global Geopark Thuringia Inselsberg – Drei Gleichen are involved in the project.
