A look to the past

The exhibition of fossils Alcover-Mont-ral "Prades Mountains 240 million years ago," shows a very different world today. The first fossils, slight traces of the first living organisms, dating back 3,500 million years, and from then until now have been accumulating in the earth's crust deposits. The presence of these witnesses of the past has been very useful to know the evolution of the history of the Earth. Some paleontological fossils show us in an exceptional state of preservation, in connection skeletons and remains or impressions of the softer parts of organisms that produced them. These types of deposits are called Fossil-Lagerstätten and is part of the fossil site of Alcover-Mont-ral.
