Sandberg, Archaeological site in Devínska Nová Ves, Slovakia
The sandstone hill of Sandberg contains remnants of marine life, including shark teeth, gastropods, and whale bones visible on its exposed walls.
The site dates back 13 million years when it was covered by the Tertiary sea, creating layers of sediment rich in marine fossils.
The Museum of Natural History in Bratislava displays numerous fossil specimens collected from Sandberg, teaching visitors about marine paleontology.
Visitors can reach Sandberg through marked hiking trails from Devínska Nová Ves, with public transport connections available at multiple starting points.
The limestone formations contain red algae deposits and seal bones, making it one of Slovakia's most important paleontological locations.
