What's that big slab with all the squiggly lines?

Wow Impressive fossils.

Well, the majority of these fossils are probably from one of the most famous Lagerstätte fossil deposits in the world. Other Lagerstätten include Mazon Creek, the Burgess Shale, the Green River formation, the Nebraska ashfall beds, and La Brea.

That Solnhofen lithographic limestone does make for some IMPRESSIVE fossils. I was especially gratified to see that you included a couple of pictures of Archaeopteryx. Magnificent displays one and all.

You can also add to this list the fossils of Messel ( Germany), without forgetting the famous fossils fishes of Monte Bolca ( Italy) among which here are some photos made by me and by a friend during the show of Munich 2008.
