Jurassic Solnhofen Plant. The Solnhofen Plattenkalk, also known as Solnhofen limestone, is a Jurassic Konservat-Lagerstätte. This Lagerstatte preserves a rare assemblage of fossilized organisms, including highly detailed imprints of soft bodied organisms such as sea jellies.
The most familiar fossils of the Solnhofen Plattenkalk include the early feathered theropod dinosaur Archaeopteryx preserved in such detail that they are among the most famous and most beautiful fossils in the world.
