A Roche called boys – most of his kind in the Altmühltal

Jochen comes from the layers of the Upper Jura in painful Kelheim and rarity: Because the stone Roche is well preserved on the outside – and completely up to its 1.20 meter length. “This is privately because of such cartilage fishing, mostly poorly preserved skeletons, teeth or tiny skin,” said Derpalogen Raimund Albersdörfer from the Dinosaurier Museum Altmühtal Museum Altmühtal. Based on such very well preserved copies, researchers can then deliver revenge to the living conditions of the Roche.

Jochen is related to modern Roche

And nick only that makes the petrified animal obsessed. It is also the first fossil of a previously unknown Roche type. Jechen is about how the so -called Batomorphii developed. This is the group of cartilage, which also includes modern rays. “Derser Fund sways our understanding of dying stadiums of the development of the Roche and its evolutionary branches,” explains Albersdörfer.

And longed for his outdated through the oceans, seas of ayer, aquariums, the 150 mime year old Jochen, can be attended in the current exhibition of the Dinosaur Museum Altmühltal in the nature of parishioners.
