Practical session
In the Netherlands only in southern Limburg does 'mergel' come to the surface. The 'mergel' practical session of the Natuurhistorisch Museum Maastricht offers a unique opportunity to find answers to the question of what mergel is and how it originated. By handling 'mergel' (pre-prepared by the museum), examining it under microscopes and under expert supervision, the pupils themselves look for answers. They are allowed to take the fossils found home!
