At PaleoTime, quite a few exhibitors provide a particularly wide range of scientific and vulgar literature. Several exhibitors are established names in the world of old and antiquarian books. Seize your chance to get hold of that rare publication.
Geological tools, preparation materials, magnifying glasses, hammers, chisels, storage boxes, standards, …
PaleoTime has it all!
PaleoTime also wants to stimulate the mutual exchange of experience and knowledge, both among collectors and between collectors and scientists. That is why we also hold a series of lectures during the fair, the PaleoTime Lectures.
Three short (30 min) powerful and above all fascinating lectures on an active scientific topic brought by eloquent scientists and / or citizen-scientists at a very intelligible level.
While you are quietly walking around the fair or attending a lecture, our enthusiastic animation team will keep your kids busy.
The youngest can enjoy themselves with color pens and balloons. The handy harry's can make beautiful replicas of
ammonites or other fossils.
Do not forget to take a photo with our dinosaur !!!
