Unearthing the Past: A Remarkable Discovery of Fossilized Vomit in Denmark
Imagine taking a leisurely stroll along a picturesque coastline, only to stumble upon remnants of a prehistoric meal from 66 million years ago. This extraordinary event occurred recently on the Stevns Klint Coastal Cliffs in Denmark, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rich fossil record.
Peter Bennicke, an amateur fossil enthusiast, was out for a casual walk when he noticed unusual fragments embedded in the chalky cliffs. Upon closer examination, these fragments turned out to be pieces of sea lily, a type of marine invertebrate. Intrigued by his find, Bennicke took the fragments to the Museum of East Zealand for further investigation, leading to a remarkable revelation.
