Fossil identification chart published
As part of its public relations work, but also for teaching, the Geosciences Collection has published a identification chart. It contains 80 images of the most common Cretaceous ammonites. A further identification map of the most important Jurassic ammonites was produced by the Staatliches Museum Museum für Naturkunde in Stuttgart. These are the first identification charts of a new series of folding maps on fossils, published by Quelle and Meyer Verlag in Wiebelsheim. They are compact (DIN-long format) and therefore "always in your pocket". They show the essential characteristics of the organisms treated - in each case in comparison to similar species. And they are inexpensive. Up to now, only non-geoscientific topics have been covered, such as identification maps of aquatic and coastal birds, amphibians and native beetles. The price of all determination maps of the publishing house program is 3,95 € each, maps available in sets of 10 are 20 € each. Whoever is interested in the fossil maps can contact the collection.
