The Solnhofen Limestone is among the most important and interesting fossil deposits in the world. This is because of its astonishing diversity of well-preserved organisms. Marine and terrestrial creatures and plants, buried in the 150 million years of soft lagoonal muds.

Skeletal fossils are preserved as well as otherwise non-fossiliferous soft-bodied animals (Such as crustaceans, squid, jellyfish, flying reptiles). The most celebrated and important fossil is by far the Archaeopteryx - This has been named the "missing link", this animal has a skeleton of a dinosaur, but has feathers. It has revealed a crucial evolutionary transition between reptiles and birds.

Solnhofen Fossils promotes and markets these fossils from the Jurassic lagoon. Through this web site you will be able to have an opportunity to learn about and purchase these wonderful fossils.
