Fascinating excavations: Researchers are looking for the Ursaurier in Bromacker City again

Tyrannosaurus - researchers again make exciting discoveries in Bromacker

The Bromacker fossil styles in the Thuringian Forest is again the scene of exciting archaeological studies. An international crew consisting of around 40 scientists has started with the annual summer excavations that will last until August 9th. Her focus is on the discovery of the remains of sauropods and other indications from the past. The Gotha Friedenstein Foundation announced that researchers from countries such as Italy, France, Canada and the Netherlands take part in the excavations.

Bromacker, located in the Gotha district, is one of the most important foundations of skeletons from Sauropoden worldwide. The finds provide insights into the evolution of herbivorous animals and modern terrestrial ecosystems. Over 300 discoveries have recently been made there, including partial skeletons and bones of rare sauropoden species. In addition, traces of footprints, swimming paths and other relics of plants, insects, limbs and vertebrates were found.

The excavations in Bromacker are part of an interdisciplinary research project that will last until 2025. Since 2020, the Gotha Friedenstein Foundation, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, the UNESCO Global Geopark Thüringia Inselsberg-Drei are cooperating and the Museum für Naturalkunde Berlin in this project.

Further exciting information about the geological importance of the Bromacker fossil styles and the cooperation between the International Researcher Group can find out interested readers on the website of the Friedenstein Foundation. The experts work closely together to expand the knowledge of the 290 million year old world in Bromacker and gain new knowledge.
