An Evening with the Ichthyosaurs of the Jurassic Sea in Braunschweig

At the State Natural History Museum, a lecture that connects earth history, research, and regional identity takes center stage. Dr. Ralf Kosma, head of paleontology at SNHM, takes the audience on a journey to the Ichthyosaurs of the Braunschweig region, thus opening up a fascinating literary experience of the natural sciences in narrative form.

When Fossils Become Storytellers

Ichthyosaurs, often referred to as fish lizards, are among the most impressive reptiles of the Mesozoic Era. The lecture focuses on their way of life, their adaptation to water, and the extraordinary finds from the region. This creates a reading atmosphere in the broader sense: factually precise, vivid, and carried by the linguistic artistry of a researcher who knows his discipline.

Regional Paleontology with Scientific Depth

The evening becomes particularly exciting due to its regional focus. Significant ichthyosaur finds have been uncovered in the Braunschweig region in recent years, providing new insights into the area's geological history. Thus, the lecture combines expertise, museum educational communication, and the charm of an encounter with an esteemed expert from the institution.

The Museum as a Place of Discovery

The State Natural History Museum represents an environment where research becomes visible. The historic place at Pockelsstraße 10 provides the perfect stage for a lecture on fossils, marine reptiles, and paleontological detective work. Those who appreciate natural science lectures will experience here a scientifically grounded format with a clear impact.

Practical, Compact, and Accessible

Admission is 3 Euros; members of the Society for Natural History e.V. are granted free entry. The evening starts on September 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM and ends around 8:30 PM. The museum is wheelchair accessible and centrally located in Braunschweig, making it easy to reach.

Conclusion

This lecture is aimed at everyone who wishes to experience natural science not merely as the transfer of knowledge but as a vibrant access to the past. Anyone interested in fossils, earth history, and the scientific work of a museum should experience this evening live.
