There are only a handful of experts in Austria who are out and about in our mountains looking for dinosaurs. However, if you know where to look, you can discover real fossil treasures. The "Bergkrone" was on tour with a real dinosaur hunter. 

A Viking hairstyle, a beard and a large dinosaur tattoo on his forearm. A palaeontologist is not what you might imagine. Karl Weiss is not a scientist either, but the main foreman at a construction company, and yet the Upper Carinthian is one of Austria's leading dinosaur experts.
