The Stevns Klint region in Denmark is famous for its evidence of the Chicxulub effect that brings the end of dinosaurs. In this geological field, a much more strange way, a 66 -million -year -old fossilized animal pile of vomiting has been revealed.
The heap was discovered by Local Amateur Fossil Hunter Peter Bennicke. When Bennicke divided a piece of chalk he had taken as he walks alongside the cliffs, he realized that there were some unusual -looking pieces. When he took the finding to Geomuseum Faxe, the mysterious example was cleared and examined by Paleontologist John Jagt. Jagt, who experts the sea lilies (not plants, as pointed out, is not the plant, but the sea invertebrates), the example found that there are remains of at least two different species of these creatures.
The Paleontologist concluded that the sea lilies were defeated by some kind of animal and then partially vomited. For the next 66 million years, this pile of fossilized and became a wider trace fossil group known as a regurgitalitis, ie the bromalities caused by the digestive systems of organisms.
“A really extraordinary invention, Jes said the curator of the Geomuseum Faxe Museum, and continued:“ The sea lilies are not particularly a nutritious diet, because they are often made up of limestone plates held together with very few soft parts. But there is probably an animal, which is a fish species, ate the sea lilies living at the bottom of the Cretaceous Sea 66 million years ago and returned the skeletal pieces. Such a finding provides important new information about the relationship between predators and prey and food chains in the Cretaceous Sea. ”
Considering its unique nature, it was determined that the ancient vomit pile was “Danekræ” by a committee. This term refers to natural objects in Denmark, which has scientific or exhibition value, and according to Milan, it means ‘Danish creature’ in Old Danish.
According to the Danish laws, Darekræ must be delivered to a well -known Natural History Museum.
