Hall of fame
Not only the new audience find interest in Rock Fossils on Tour. Even the biggest rock stars on the planet are thrilled to have their names carved in the bedrock of scientific naming - The Nomenclature.
Several heavyweights from the world of rock music, including Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath, Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, Mark Knopfler, King Diamond, Bad Religion’s Greg Graffin, along with Arch Enemy, Accept, folk-metal band Eluveitie, thrash-metal legends Tankard and black-metal kings Rotting Christ, have been personally involved in the event.
The next fossil being added to the Rock Fossils on Tour pays tribute to one of the highest peaks in rock history - specifically Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones. Of course, we’re making efforts to reach out to him to get the ultimate sprinkle of stardust over the exhibition.
