However, you should definitely report any unusual finds, as there could be something sensational behind them.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most exciting sites is the Westerberg between Egesheim and Nusplingen. This is where the so-called Nusplinger Plattenkalke limestones are found.<\/p>\n<p>Unique finds such as the completely preserved imprints of sea angels, which were ray-like sharks, make the site a paradise for fossil collectors. A large part of the slab quarry is now protected, but a geological nature trail and a designated tapping area offer plenty of opportunities for activities.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=&#8221;underline&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h6&#8243; button_color=&#8221;default&#8221; text_color=&#8221;#0069b4&#8243; button_border_thickness=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_type=&#8221;new_tab&#8221; alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; alignment_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; alignment_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; display=&#8221;block&#8221; display_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; display_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; link_text=&#8221;More about the geological nature trail&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.gemeinde-nusplingen.de\/index.php?id=55&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;60&#8243;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;450&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1689159773734{margin-top: -15px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>Original finds<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The most important original finds are on display at the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg Natural History Museum in Stuttgart.
