Hey,

 

A friend of mine dreamed to become a paleontologist during his childhood, but has chosen to become a doctor. I would like to organize a weekend to discover a European paleontology site, where should I go ?

 

Best,

Fabian.

What are his interests?

Especially, is he more interested in looking on fossiliferous outcrops or more interested in digging (but not seeing so much at first sight)?

Europe is big..., possible to visit sites in Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy...

Better to decide first what you would like to visit (Dinosaurs?) and where

The tone of the question suggests that you and your friend are completely new to that, at least in Europe. I must thus unfortunately warn you that searching/digging for fossils "on the free" this side of the pond might very well land you in serious troubles with the landowners or/and the authorities. Such activities by private citizens are nearly always stricly regulated when not completely prohibited. F. Bernhard can give you all details

HI Fabian.. I have to also ask the question.... are you looking for a place to see great specimens (a museum) or to collect your own fossils with your friend?
