After two years of hard work, I’m proud to announce that our new special exhibition @smnstuttgart.bsky.social is now open for the public – Meet Triassic Life: Dawn of the world of reptiles (1/7).
17.10.2025 16:41 — 👍 121 🔁 42 💬 3 📌 4‼️‼️Triassic Life just opened @smnstuttgart.bsky.social‼️‼️
For all #Triassic fans, lovers of strange reptiles and the Dawn of the Modern World, this is an absolute MUST!
It also couldn't be more timely with our recent publication @nature.com of the wonder reptile #Mirasaura, which is now on display!
Yesterday we joined the congress celebrating 5 years of Taxonomy Initiative Baden-Württemberg together with @kombiota.bsky.social at @unihohenheim.bsky.social. BW promotes taxonomy in a way that is unique in Germany – and is building a strong network of research, teaching, and knowledge transfer.

Grafics of scientist in the exhibition.
Research in action: from fieldwork to lab, fossil prep, CT scans, and 3D models showing how hypotheses become evidence.
#TriassicLife is on view until June 7, 2026. More information: www.naturkundemuseum-bw.de/en/exhibitio...

Model of Mirasaura.
From the first plant return to diverse insects, amphibians, marine reptiles and early archosaurs, the exhibition maps ecosystem recovery and innovation. A highlight is Mirasaura grauvogeli from the Grauvogel collection, sharpening early reptile evolution and Triassic timelines.
