Instagram Q&A: Secrets of fossil plants
At first glance, what looks like abstract art turns out to be fossil plant remains from our research collection. Collection technician Melanie Diebert will tell you live on Instagram about her work in our hydrofluoric acid laboratory – and currently in home office. What do fossil plant remains tell us about the flora several hundred million years ago? What contribution does laboratory work make to science? We look forward to your questions!

The sea urchin Echinocorys as a model organism for the study of fossil parasite/host systems
The sea urchin genus Echinocorys thrived on the seafloor for over 40 million years and, was host to parasites from very diverse groups of organisms. It is therefore particularly suited as a model for studying symbiotic relationships over long geological timespans.
