The term Wealden refers to continental sediments of the Lower Cretaceous period. They were deposited in fresh and brackish water of floodplains or in lagoons. The term is derived from the name of the southern English landscape Weald. Not only its dynamic deposition conditions, but also the fossils are exciting about Wealden. Fossils include wood and other plant remains, turtles, sharks, crocodiles. Especially outstanding are the tracks of dinosaurs and their bones. Last but not least the most important dinosaur finds of Europe come from the Wealden.
