While some people inevitably think of scenes from the movie Jurassic Park when they hear the term paleontology and imagine researchers excavating in the remotest parts of the world, others think of dusty display cases in the dark corners of museums.

At Freiberg, we see palaeontology as a modern science that is taught in a practical and interdisciplinary way. Whether in lectures and exercises, in field practicals, in our collections or in the laboratories - palaeontology comes alive in Freiberg.

And ultimately, knowledge of the geological history of the earth with its paleontological evidence is part of the toolkit of every good geoscientist.
