'Welcome to Mesozoic' exhibition opens on April 30

BELGRADE - The exhibition entitled 'Welcome to Mesozoic' on the long-gone world and times which still attract most attention of all bygone geological eras will open in the Gallery of the Museum of Natural History in Belgrade on April 30.

The exhibition will feature reconstructions of marine ecosystems with typical sea creatures of the era, such as unusual invertebrates (ammonites and belemnites) and huge marine reptiles such as plesiosaurus, elasmosaurus and ichthyosaurus.

The exhibition will also feature the reconstruction of the habitat which was a home to a large number of various dinosaur species, reptilians and mammals 75 million years ago.

The exhibition will present the original fossils of marine invertebrates found in the territory of Serbia and herbal fossils old around 200 million years which once formed forest ecosystems in the area.

The visitors will have a chance to learn more about the appearance of the planet in the Mesozoic era when the layout of seas and continents was completely different than it is today. By means of the timeline, the visitors will get an insight into the periods when some animals lived.
