A nature-focussed trip along the so-called “Sabbioni del Po”, riverine geological structures typical of the meandering course of the river in the Low Po Plain, looking for the fossils of mammals that lived here many thousands of years ago. The guide will explain the geological phenomena that led to the creation of the “Sabbioni” and why we can find mammalian fossils here. In addition to the geology and palaeontology, the guide will also discuss the flora and environmental aspects of the area.
Among the things that we may see along the “Sabbioni” are remains of mammoths, giant deer, bison and other mammals. We will also see traces left by man, primarily in the form of pottery sherds of all periods, particularly from the Roman, Medieval, renaissance and modern periods.
