monte san giorgio


Monte San Giorgio, a mountain located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, is celebrated for its rich paleontological history and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. This recognition was extended in 2010 to include the Italian side of the mountain. Renowned for its well-preserved fossils, it provides an invaluable record of marine life from the Middle Triassic period, offering insights into prehistoric ecosystems. The mountain's unique geological composition has also been a source of fascination, contributing significantly to our understanding of Earth's history.
