Fossile Werbung wurde in #DenHaag im Januar 2025 verboten.
Das wollten die niederländische #TUI und #ANVR (Verband der Reisebüros) per einstweiliger Verfügung stoppen und zogen vor Gericht.
Heute kam das Urteil: Das Werbeverbot bleibt bestehen.
Ein schöner Erfolg!

An exciting free talk by past APS speaker Sally Hurst! This time she'll be discussing the opalised dinosaur fossils of Lightning Ridge. This is a free event!

Her November talk on the Found a Fossil project was fascinating, so I'm sure this one will be as well!

Reminder: hide your answer behind a content warning. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

This was designed by me.
