Ticino is not only a popular holiday destination, but also a globally recognised palaeontological gem. Monte San Giorgio is home to one of the world’s most significant fossil sites. Fascinating marine reptiles and ancient fish ruled the oceans over 240 million years ago, when most of Europe lay beneath the sea. Immerse yourself in the Triassic Sea of Monte San Giorgio and listen to the fascinating stories and experiences of a palaeontologist from the University of Zurich. Which vertebrates lived there? What adaptations to life in water can we see? Are there still marine reptiles today? And how did the fossils come to be so exceptionally well preserved?
