In the fossil museum in Meride one can admire a collection of several of the most notable finds of Monte San Giorgio, which, thanks to the studies of the Insitute of Paleontology of the University of Zurich, have come to represent a prestigious chapter in the history of the evolution of life forms. A 20-minute slide show in German and Italian provides useful information. From a paleontology viewpoint, no other mountain in the whole of Switzerland is as interesting as Monte San Giorgio.
