Shape as a starting point
A tooth, a shell shape and a piece of rock each call for a different way of looking. Ask to have explained what recognition and classification are based on for finds like these.
More than loose fossils
The collection of Tonny Bekke is also mentioned, including shells and crustaceans. This broadens the visit from fossilised remains to comparing natural shapes.
Museum and quarry are separate
The museum in 't Hengelhoes and a visit to the Staringgroeve have different visiting arrangements. An open museum therefore does not automatically mean the quarry is accessible too.
Before you go
The museum has limited fixed opening times and works with volunteers. Arrange extra visiting opportunities in good time via the contact form.
