Oggi ho fatto un giretto a Gerolstein, situato nella zona vulcanica nella regione dell`Eifel nella Germania al confine con il Belgio.
Cittadina famosa per le sue fonti di acqua minerale e per fantastici ritrovamenti paleontologici che vanno dai trilobiti dell`eifeliano ai cavalli dell´eocene.
Ora parco naturale protetto dall`Unesco. Purtroppo non si può più cercare liberamente.
Io sono andato in un piccolo museo con molti reperti trovati in zona gestito da un collezionista di trilobiti con cui ho avuto il piacere di far due chiacchiere e veder alcuni dei suoi lavori.
di seguito alcune foto dei pezzi presenti nel museo
minerali e fossili

Da quanto ho visto ho notato che esistono più livelli a trilobiti, i più belli provengono da uno strato uguale a quello marocchino, purtroppo non é cosí esteso come in Marocco :D. anche la fauna sembra la medesima
Spero che le foto vi siano piaciute, purtroppo il vetro riflette.
Il museo, per chi volesse andarci si chiama:
Naturkundemuseum Gerolstein - Zeitreisen am Eifelsteig Hauptstraße 72 54568 Gerolstein Naturkundemuseum Gerolstein
06591/9899459
poi giretto per il paese
