Intro
The Paleontological Museum of the University of Zurich has one of the world's most important collections of marine dinosaurs and fish from the Middle Triassic, the period between 230 and 240 million years ago.
The Palaeontological Museum of the University of Zurich is home to one of the world's most important collections of marine dinosaurs and fish from the Middle Triassic period, around 230 to 240 million years ago. The core of the exhibition is formed by the excellently preserved and scientifically very valuable fossils from Monte San Giorgio in southern Ticino, a unique site that has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since July 2003. Fossils from the Zurich area, the Alps and North America also provide an insight into the changing animal world of recent geological history. The colorful life pictures and models give an idea of long-extinct animals.
