AI Article Synopsis

  • - Monte San Giorgio, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that spans Switzerland and Italy, is a key fossil locality known for its significant collection of marine reptile skeletons discovered in the early 20th century.
  • - Excavations led by Bernhard Peyer from the University of Zurich began in 1924 and resulted in a series of important research publications about the vertebrates and invertebrates found in this area.
  • - The findings at Monte San Giorgio have gained international importance, especially with the discovery of similar fossil sites in China, and new techniques like computed tomography have provided valuable information about the anatomy of various ancient species.

Article Abstract

Only a few Swiss fossil localities are known globally and of which, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Monte San Giorgio, which extends from Switzerland into Italy, is the most important one. Following the discovery of the occurrence of articulated skeletons of marine reptiles in the local mines, large excavations were organized by Bernhard Peyer from the University of Zurich starting 1924. With this collection of articles, we commemorate the successful excavations and research, which initiated the publication of a series of monographies, mostly on the vertebrates but also on the invertebrates of this locality. Especially with the discovery of several remarkably similar Konservat-Lagerstätten in China, the discoveries from Monte San Giorgio gained global relevance. New methodologies such as computed tomography produced a wealth of new data, particularly on endocranial anatomy of several tetrapods.
