Especially for those who do not appreciate the advantages of the quicktime version, here is a small photographic collage from the slide show for you (jpg 140 kb). Click image below:

Photographs were taken during the celebration for participants of the Munich Science Days 2002, 15. Sept. 2002 at the Palaeontological Museum Munich. Special light effects Tobias Nefzger. Thanks to Prof. Daumer, the executive organizer of the Munich Science Days 2002 for this great feast!

Technical Note: This slideshow is a quicktime wired movie with sound. Sound is highly compressed and scrolling text as well as transitions are rendered on your computer which should have a powerful chip engine. If you have a slow computer, images or music might therefore stutter. Quicktime plugin is required (your computer will ask you to download it, if you don't have it).

Filmed footage for movie-version: Eva-Maria Scriba.
