Support us in Frankfurt/Main with the recording and digitization of collection objects
The Paleomammalogy Section was established in 2008 in the Messel Research Division. The main topic of the section is: “Mammalian evolution and biodiversity”.
The Paleomammalogy Section in Frankfurt am Main deals with the study of fossil mammals (systematics, phylogeny, paleobiology), especially from the Messel Pit (Eocene) and from East Africa (Miocene), and houses the fossil small mammal collection.
Support us with the recording and digitization of collection objects from the fossil small mammal collection.
As basic requirements you bring reliability, patience and curiosity, as well as computer skills. Experience with image processing programs and/or cameras would also be desirable. Further training will take place on site.
