Companion collection: 10 fossils related to B92217

Format: DIN A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)Only available in German!Although they became extinct around 65 million years ago, dinosaurs are among the most impressive animals that have ever inhabited the Earth. This poster introduces different dinosaurs, shows their relationships, when they lived and how the giants of prehistoric times are classified today in the family system of land vertebrates. Nine main groups are presented individually using illustrative pictures of selected species in their natural environment. Their distribution is shown by means of world maps indicating the location of the continents during their lifetime. The best-known generic names are listed according to subgroups. We take great care to reflect the current state of scientific knowledge.The role of birds is particularly interesting. Although it was recognized as early as 1861 with the well-known “primeval bird” Archaeopteryx that birds are indeed closely related to reptiles, it took until the 1990s before it became clear that they are a surviving lineage of dinosaurs. Today we know the path from dinosaur to bird was a journey of many small steps. With each discovery, it becomes increasingly difficult to make the almost arbitrary decision as to what is a bird and what is a dinosaur. Because dinosaurs and birds cannot be separated evolutionarily, they also belong on a modern dinosaur poster.

Introductory Paleontology Collection10 specimens of various sizessupplied in a plastic collection boxThese specimens provide an initial introduction to the basic principles of paleontology.They illustrate the difference between a recent and a fossilized shell, between clams and brachiopods, and introduce key paleontological concepts.For example, an accompanying text explains the terms “steinkern”, “trace fossil,” and “allochthonous embedding,” while corresponding specimens illustrate the different preservation types.In addition, information about silicification and chemical transformations during fossil formation is provided.This introductory collection comes in a segmented plastic collector's box, complete with an explanatory guide. The specimens are numbered according to the table of contents.Our collections are hand-picked in Bonn.Please keep in mind that fossils are natural products and no two pieces will everlook exactly alike.Due to technical limitations, colors in product photos may differ from those of the original product.Our images are intended as reference; upon purchase, you will receive a collection of equivalent quality.

100 fossils of all geological eras in collection boxesincl. wooden boxThis collection contains fossils which mark certain geological periods (Precambrian - today) by their occurrence. Arranged according to geological age, they give an overview of the development of life on Earth.Designed specifically for a first introduction to the world of paleontology in the school setting, it features representatives of all the major fossil animal and plant groups. Each fossil is accompanied by an explanatory drawing, as well as a detailed introductory text. The specimens are numbered and labelled with the exact name, age and place of discovery. They are supplied in 'system-bloc' collection boxes, which in turn are placed in sequence in a wooden case.A detailed contents list is included with each collection.
