What a fascinating place. The charming young paleontologist was so knowledgeable and passionate. I took our grandchildren and he explained some really complex information in English for them. It was quite mind blowing to gain an insight and a visual idea of what this part of Europe was like 17 million years ago.

Ce site majeur mériterait d'être beaucoup plus connu.
Un très agréable voyage dans le temps. ????????????
