We had a third day in the #swabianalb Alb UNESCO #geopark today. Our first stop #steinheimamalbuch #meteorcrater (pics 5-10). At the crater we first climbed to its rim for a view which was obscured by fog. We then visited the museum which was kindly opened specially for us. In the museum we learnt how 15 million years ago 2 meteors hit Germany. The smaller meteor created the Steinheim am Albuch crater, while the larger meteor created the Nördlinger Ries crater. When the Steinheim meteor hit the ground creating the crater, the meteor evaporated and compressed the bedrock which rebounded forming a dome in the centre of the crater. The meteors killed all life in a 300km radius, but life soon recovered and a lake formed in the Steinheim crater with the rebounded dome being an island (pic 8). This lake existed for 1 million years and many fossils have been preserved in it, including ancestral elephants, hedgehogs, hares, martens, bear-dogs, sabre tooth cats, horses, fish and snails. In many ways snails have been the most interesting fossils, because they have been shown evolving into new species in an evolutionary arms race with fish (pic 9). After the museum we visited the fossil quarry where we were lucky enough to bump into a geologist from Stuttgart University who showed us around (pic 10). Our next stop was the town of Aalen that lends its name to the Aalenian age of the #jurassic. Here we visited both the excellent museum seeing some beautiful #ammonites (pics 1-2), and the #TieferStollen #ironmine where we rode a train 400m into the mountain. The iron ore is mined from Jurassic near shore sediments that contain Fe oolites that were concentrated in dunes, these sediments also contain abundant fossils.
