This highly original trilingual publication expresses the revival of the geological and palaeontological research in the Jura whose limestone gave its name to the Jurassic period. It enables the reader to visualise not only the transformation of the Jurassic landscapes and beaches into the present-day mountainous relief, but also the history of the climates and the evolution of the biodiversity during the past 200 million years.


The included DVD allows the viewer to participate in the work of the Jura Arc palaeontologists and offers the first computer graphics of the dinosaurs that trampled the Jura soil 150 million years ago!
