Take a walk along the beach at Møns Klint and find your very own DKK 70 million. years old fossil.
For 70 million years ago, Denmark was covered by a large sea called the Cretaceous Sea. Coccolith algae lived in the sea in large numbers, and when its shells fell to the bottom, they were deposited as chalk and lime on the sea floor. It is this chalky seabed that was created Møns Klint, when the glaciers pushed the seabed up to the surface during the Ice Age.
A large number of animals and plants lived in the Cretaceous period. Today, the now extinct animals can be found as fossils in the cliff slopes and especially in the upwash zone on the beach. The fossils are scattered throughout the area, so go exploring yourself along the beach and look for exciting prehistoric animals and plants.
If you want to get even more out of your fossil hunt, take the GeoCenter's guides on a guided trip to the beach. The guided fossil hunts are held during holidays and high season. Read more here: https://moensklint.dk/fossiljagt/
