Unfortunately, despite mammal fossils having been available for over a quarter of a
century, they remain undescribed. Hopefully, some kind of summary will appear at
some stage. The fauna is globally significant given its Tithonian age, and is
crying out for attention.
Germany:
Join the Jurassic Harz Safari - A day at the Costa del Oker. A short guided tour of
an Upper Jurassic location. Presently, the only mammals known are the tourists. The fauna
is based on local finds unless otherwise stated. Be prepared for some eccentric humour.

The ancient old country
The information available allows coverage of every locality or groups of localities
in the country. If I'm incorrect on that point, then you must've found a new one,
and that's fine.
Eocene
Germany: A Muse on Messel
Non-mammal but Mesozoic
Germany: Solnhofen - home
of Archaeopteryx
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROJECT IS NOT SCIENTIFIC. IT IS A HOBBY.
"I was looking for information on an old mammal and found this lot. What is this
project?"
It's got lots of information on old mammals. For a short bit of background information, see
here.
