MEETINGS WITH SCIENCE. Dinosaurs near Radom. World-class discoveries from millions of years ago. Dr. Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki

Traces of millions of years ago have been preserved several tens of kilometers from Radom.

What dinosaurs lived millions of years ago in the areas around Radom? What can we learn from the leads they have left? Why were the discoveries made in Borkowice near Radom considered world-class and what is unique preserved in the rocks there? Paweł Błach will talk about dinosaurs, their world and paleontological discoveries from our region with Dr. Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki.

Dr. Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki — vertebrate paleontologist, researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden. He deals with the origin and early evolution of tetrapods and dinosaurs and vertebrate paleobiology, among others. He is a co-discoverer of many important paleontological sites and finds. Together with Prof. Grzegorz Pieńkowski, he discovered in Borkowice one of the most important sites with traces and remains of early Jurassic dinosaurs in Poland. Hundreds of perfectly preserved tropes were found there, including natural foot casts with visible anatomical details and traces of skin.
