The "Monte Bolca" site is among the most important classical Fossillagerstätten in the world. The approximately 50 million year old platy limestones have provided a large number of very beautiful fish from the Eocene, a fauna that is unique. “Monte Bolca" is a window into the history of the Earth, a snapshot of a particularly important phase of the evolution of fish and thus "Monte Bolca" even plays a decisive role in the history of geology and palaeontology.
