Geosciences Working Group

lecturer: Harald Rohe
The late Jurassic and the early Cretaceous are generally poorly exposed in Lower Saxony. Although the general sequence of the strata is known, the fossil record is rather poorly described. Exceptions are for example the dinosaur tracks from the natural monument Münchehagen. However, these rocks of the latest Jurassic and earliest Cretaceous period allow a much more detailed insight into the land ecosystems of these bygone times, which had much more to offer than giant reptiles. The small fossils reported in this lecture are at least as exciting - meant is the so far almost unknown fossil insect world fom Germany. The lecture gives a first insight into this topic that is scientifically poorly known yet.
