The Paleontological Museum of the University of Zurich displays one of the world's most important collections of marine dinosaurs and marine fishes from the Middle Triassic, the period between about 230 and 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 area around Zurich, from the Alps and from North America also provide an insight into the changing animal world of the Earth's recent history. An idea of long-extinct animals is conveyed by the colorful life pictures and models.
