330 million years ago, things looked very different where Chemnitz is today. Rivers in which sharks swam criss-crossed the landscape. But how do we know that there were once sharks here? Don't sharks live in the sea? How long have sharks actually been around and what do they have to do with eggs?

There's a lot going on during a volcanic eruption. Rocks fly through the air and ash darkens the sky. This natural spectacle also produces tuff, fossilised ash. This can even be turned into works of art. We want to try this out together with a hammer and chisel. You can then take your own work of art home with you.
The event is co-financed by the European Union as part of the ESF Plus project "Window into the Earth's History" (application number: 100731465). This measure is co-financed by tax funds on the basis of the budget approved by the Saxon state parliament.
