    Are there any Paleontologists in Algeria?

    just wondering if there's an institute of paleontological studies in algeria? is there any place in internet where someone can read about the findings made in Algeria???

    i just came cross a big rock in North East Algeria which has some ancient walking footprints on it, they look like a dinosaur footprint but not sure! the rock is from cretaceous period according to the geological map

    any input is appreciated!

    Salam,

    Welcome to Algeria.com.

    I don't know if there is any dedicated unit in Algeria that includes paleontologists, but in the distant past Algeria has been home to dinosaurs (no comments about contemporary politicians) >>> and dinosaur remains have been found there <<<. The last such find was reported to the Department of Culture, so presumably official responsibility for documenting and arranging the examination of such finds lies there.
