Schon die Neandertaler interessierten sich neben anderen Fossilien auch für fossile Haizähne, was Funde in einer burgundischen Höhle beweisen. Offenbar verwendete der Urmensch sie als Schmuck oder auch als Werkzeug. Ein interessanter Fund wurde unter anderem in Sachsen-Anhalt in einem ehemaligen Braunkohletagebau bei Halle gemacht, als an einem rund 90.000 Jahre alten Lagerplatz der Neandertaler neben zahlreichen Werkzeugen und Gebrauchsgegenständen des Homo neanderthalensis auch zwei Haizähne und ein Belemnit zu Tage kamen. Scheinbar sammelte er die Fossilien und behielt sie als "Trophäen", ohne ihre Herkunft zu kennen. Ein Portrait von Stephan K., Dirk G., Marco Kannenberg, Norbert Kirchhoff

... As al­ready men­tioned else­where, min­ing in Il­me­nau dates back to the year 1200. In 1216, Count Pop­po v. Hen­ne­berg was en­fe­offed with the Ber­gre­gal by Frie­drich den II. At that time one had dis­cov­ered min­er­alised steep cop­per slate near Ro­da and on the Sturmheide. Pre­sum­ab­ly, in­di­vi­d­u­al min­ers had ... more... As already mentioned elsewhere, mining in Ilmenau dates back to the year 1200. In 1216, Count Poppo v. Henneberg was enfeoffed with the Bergregal by Friedrich den II. At that time one had discovered mineralised steep copper slate near Roda and on the Sturmheide. Presumably, individual miners had been enfeoffed, who extracted copper slate and sandstone in accordance with the mining freedom. This is generally regarded as the beginning of the first main period of Ilmenau mining. The ore was mined in small open pits to a maximum depth of 50m. ... A Contribution of {:10697:}

The Alps are the high­est and most ex­ten­sive moun­tain range sys­tem that lies en­tire­ly in Eu­rope, stretch­ing ap­prox­i­mate­ly 1,200 km across eight Alpine coun­tries from Aus­tria and Slove­nia in the east, Switz­er­land, Liecht­en­stein, Ger­many, and France to the west, and Ita­ly and Mo­na­co to the south. The ... moreThe Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately 1,200 km across eight Alpine countries from Austria and Slovenia in the east, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, and France to the west, and Italy and Monaco to the south. The Caucasus Mountains are higher, and the Urals longer, but both lie partly in Asia. The Alps were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at 4,810 m is the highest mountain in the Alps. The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4,000 m known as the "four-thousanders".

Ac­tu­al­ly, this is a pic­turesque place in a well-kept for­est. Nev­er­the­less, in the past, evil it­self is said to have preached to the damned here from a large, sol­i­tary, tow­er­ing rock spur. To­day, the term Dev­il's Pul­pit in­spires one to play with as­so­ci­a­tions, as do the draw­ings of agates found here. ... moreActually, this is a picturesque place in a well-kept forest. Nevertheless, in the past, evil itself is said to have preached to the damned here from a large, solitary, towering rock spur. Today, the term Devil's Pulpit inspires one to play with associations, as do the drawings of agates found here. Their fantastic outlines, coupled with the unusual shape of the secondary rock, evoke images in the viewer that he would not have suspected in a stone. And on the devil's pulpit no longer an evil demon is waiting for the agate collector, but other executive powers threatening with purgatory... a contribution by Klaus Schäfer and others (in german)

Das Köni­greich Marokko ist Ori­ent und Okzi­dent in einem, nur ei­nen Katzen­sprung von Eu­ro­pa ent­fer­nt (sie­he neben­ste­hen­des Fo­to).

Die Kontraste zwischen Wüsten, Hochgebirgen, Berber-Dörfern mit mittelalterlichen Kasbah-Wohnburgen aus Stampflehm, den erhabenen Königsstädten Rabat, Meknes, Marrakech und Fes und dem modernen und hektischen Casablanca sind atemberaubend. Feine, lange Sandstrände am Mittelmeer und Atlantik, liebliche und sanfte Mittelgebirge mit dichtem Baumbestand von Kiefern und Zedern im Landesinneren (wo man auch Ski fahren und Forellen fischen kann), über die gewaltigen Massive des Hohen Atlas in die südliche Hammada-Wüste am Nordrand der Sahara mit Trockenflüssen - jeder Kilometer einer Reise durch Marokko ist ein Abenteuer für das ... ein Bericht von Peter Seroka
