Fossil scallop shells for sale World Stetten Korneuburg - Museums - Arts and Culture Fossilienwelt wine district #
Wood construction, the fossil occurrences of the pelvis Korneuburger been known since the mid-19th century. scallop shells for sale The degradation of sand and brick clay interesting remains of life from a time could always be recovered scallop shells for sale 16.5 million years ago. On Teiritzberg (municipality Stetten in Korneuburg / N.Ö) was until after the Second World War, a brickyard.
Only in 1975 began a group of collectors with detailed location recordings and systematic excavations in the light of scientific criteria. From the "Project Teiritzberg", in which the Korneuburger association "Friends of minerals and fossils" developed an extensive documentation and collection activities under the direction of Dr. Wolfgang Sovis originated.
Sketch of the Natural History Museum Korneuburger The pool is small, about 20 km long and 7 km wide, geological structure. It originated in the Miocene more than 19 million years ago by strain scallop shells for sale forces that triggered the formation of the Vienna Basin during the Alpine orogeny.
The Hauptsedimentations phase in Korneuburger pool to rest until the Karpatium a front of about 17 million years. Now the ground begins to decrease rapidly. scallop shells for sale At the same time provide enough sand and mud flows to compensate for this decrease. Although the basin over time drops hundreds of meters, the sea therefore remains very shallow and hardly deeper than 20-30 meters.
16 million years ago ended the sinking of the ground. The sea withdrew from the Korneuburger pool. The next detectable sediments only come back from the meandering Danube precursor, which covered the Korneuburger pool during the warmer episodes of glaciation. You are about 120,000 years old.
Only the geological coincidence, it is thanks to them that Steffen part of the sediments has survived scallop shells for sale protected between the Flyschketten. Only at one point suspected the scientist one last contiguous reef. Again and again namely individual shells along the edge site of a former brickworks Stetten. The originally horizontal sediments were tilted by tectonic forces by 24 .
First test excavations scallop shells for sale brought no clear findings in spring 2005. The relatively small excavator had to give up in a Prospektionstiefe of four meters, without being ever come close to the oysters. Only in the summer succeeded with heavy equipment, excavate scallop shells for sale an area of about 300 m2. With great caution, the excavators worked prior to about 40-60 cm above the oyster situation - then the risk would be to destroy the fossils have been too great. The obliquely inclined to the west area had to be dug this up to six feet deep. The excavated material piled up soon to a mountain that was visible from the highway. Now the real work began.
Only in the second week excavation, the researchers were the first oyster to face. 20 earth scientists began to prepare to row number. Then quadrant by quadrant was documented and photographed. More than 15,000 giant oysters eventually covered the exposed area. The shells are dense but disordered in a 15 cm thick layer. The Austernriff #
The detection was carried out: The biggest fossil Austernriff the world is on Teiritzberg in Stetten. The idea for the fossil world wine district was born. Now had sponsors for the project can be found. Until then, was Austernriff but to protect against weather and grave robbers. For almost three years, the excavation area disappeared under a thick layer of foils, boards and sand.
In an initial feasibility study, the economic conditions were staked, architectural designs were prepared and eventually developed a concept scallop shells for sale that would offer the teaching of scientific content developed popular. Infotainment was the catchphrase - information and knowledge, but pleasurable and thrilling to consume in the context of a half-day stay.
Finally, a non-profit organization was set up to which would build and operate the project -. Again, the local municipality Stetten, scallop shells for sale the "gates of Vienna 10" and some important office scallop shells for sale holders in the region with expertise and financial resources to 10 municipalities of the small region presented Finally, the Raiffeisen Holding northeast-Vienna was won as a silent key stakeholders, and the Natural History Museum took over under the leadership of Doz. Dr. Mathias Harzhauser the scientific supervision of the project. Furthermore, scallop shells for sale a number of prominent sponsors committed.
Only then followed the detailed planning. The aim was the guests is
