On Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd October 2022 the 27th edition of the Rouen International Fossils, Minerals, Gems & Jewelery Show displays its treasures in the Halle aux Toiles.
For this version of 2022, the Arpam (Paleontological, Archaeological and Mineralogical Association of Rouen) has chosen “The future of paleontology” as its theme. What future for specialists in exploring such a distant past? A whole program …
Unlike the archaeologist, focused on the history of Man, the paleontologist is 100% dedicated to nature, to ancestral animals. He forms a kind of link between mere mortals and the origin of life on Earth. He studies fragments of the history of our planet.
About sixty exhibitors from all over the world will be present to exhibit and sell their pieces to the crowd of visitors who will stroll through the corridors. Through an exchange with them we will learn that the region hides many fossils trapped in the rock at the foot of the cliffs on the Alabaster side.
In addition to the stands, these two days are enriched by various activities, in this case conferences for adults and educational workshops for children on gold diggers or the release of fossils.
