In a remarkable discovery, a 66-million-year-old fossilized vomit has been unearthed at the Cliffs of Stevns, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the Danish island of Zealand. This rare find offers a unique glimpse into the dietary habits of ancient marine predators during the Cretaceous period.
The fossil was discovered by local fossil hunter Peter Bennicke, who identified a collection of sea lily fragments embedded in chalk. Upon examination by Dutch sea lily expert John Jagt, it was determined that the clump contained remains from at least two species of sea lilies. This suggests that the vomit originated from a marine animal that consumed these creatures and later regurgitated the indigestible parts.
The fossil, officially named Danekræ DK-1295, has been classified by Denmark as an object of "exceptional natural historical value," designating it as a national treasure. This classification ensures its preservation and prohibits its sale.
