The Baroque complex in the vicinity of Bayreuth is named after the coining exclamation \u2018C\u2019est sans pareil!\u2019 (that\u2019s one of a kind \/ incomparable). In the 18th century, people were impressed by the stunning rock formations, of which thousands of smaller pieces were also used for building. Geologically, these are the remains of Late Jurassic reef limestones, roughly a lateral counterpart of the layered Wattendorf plattenkalk, which again is a slightly older complement to the \u2018Solnhofen\u2019 limestones.<\/p>\n
During the renewal of this mainly historical exhibition, the storytelling went far back in time, starting with the origins of the surrounding and defining rocks. Fortunately, we had enough experience with the marine fauna of Wattendorf to create a tiny diorama or \u2018aquarium\u2019. The background, repeating the outline of the historical window, is a translucent illustration of the sponge reef with crinoids, belemnites and \u2018Mobbl\u2019, the uge Thalassemys<\/em> sea turtle (on exhibition in Bamberg). The front pane is interrupted by models of the marine crocodylomorph Cricosaurus<\/em>, the ammonite Aulacostephanus<\/em>, the coelacanth Holophagus<\/em>, and the cidarid urchin Rhabdocidaris<\/em> sitting on a reef close-up with Tremadictyon<\/em> sponges.<\/p>\n After all, the project can\u2019t hide the short time and low budget but received great feedback right from the installation. It contains some recycled motives, along with research data. The colouring page for public outreach is nice and useful even for our commitment in the Solnhofen area.<\/p>\n exhibition context by Bettina Zenk \u2013 Zenk Design<\/em><\/p>\n supervised by Dr. Cordula Mau\u00df \u2013 Bayerische Verwaltung der staatlichen Schl\u00f6sser, G\u00e4rten und Seen<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mini diorama of the Late Jurassic reef fauna in the Oriental Building at Sanspareil Rock Garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3650,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pn_jahr":"2026","pn_taxon":"Thalassemys; Cricosaurus; Aulacostephanus; Holophagus; Rhabdocidaris; Tremadictyon","pn_auftraggeber":"Bayerische Verwaltung der staatlichen Schl\u00f6sser, G\u00e4rten und Seen","pn_ausstellung":"Orientalischer Bau, Felsengarten Sanspareil","pn_masse":"","pn_quelle_url":"","pn_lizenz":"\u00a9 Palaeonavix","pn_alt_url":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/index.php\/graphic-concept\/scenography-mini-diorama","pn_mitwirkende":"","footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[163],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-3652","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-graphic-concept"],"acf":{"pn_jahr":"2026","pn_taxon":"Thalassemys; Cricosaurus; Aulacostephanus; Holophagus; Rhabdocidaris; Tremadictyon","pn_auftraggeber":"Bayerische Verwaltung der staatlichen Schl\u00f6sser, G\u00e4rten und Seen","pn_ausstellung":"Orientalischer Bau, Felsengarten Sanspareil","pn_masse":"","pn_quelle_url":"","pn_lizenz":"\u00a9 Palaeonavix","pn_mitwirkende":"","pn_verwandte":[3735,3729,3747,3741,3774,3822,3834],"pn_links":[{"bezeichnung":"the Oriental Building at Sanspareil Rock Garden","url":"https:\/\/www.schloesser.bayern.de\/englisch\/palace\/objects\/bay_morg.htm"}],"pn_publikationen":null,"pn_alt_url":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/index.php\/graphic-concept\/scenography-mini-diorama"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/avada_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3652"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3661,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3652\/revisions\/3661"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3834"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3822"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3774"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3741"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3747"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3729"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=3652"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_skills","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_skills?post=3652"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeonavix.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_tags?post=3652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
