Mergel Workshop

Always wanted to look for treasures from the underground? Shark teeth and other fossils?

Here's your chance! You can discover fossils like a real scientist.

You see, in the past, in Maastricht there was no land but a warm subtropical sea where all kinds of animals lived; small, large and extremely large predators like the Mosasaurus! All these sea creatures are preserved as fossils, fossilized in the ground, and they are found here in Maastricht. 

You will get to work yourself, using the microscope, looking for the fossils from the sea of the past. Will you come and discover them?
