Fish vomited in Denmark during the Cretaceous, now the paleontologists are studying it

According to the researcher, the remnants of Merililja provide information on ancient food chains.

Danish A 66 million -year -old paved vomiting has been found in Zealand.

It rushed out of the fish throat at a time when the dinosaurs wandered on earth, said the Danish East Zealand Museum in his announcement.

The paved discovery was made by a local fossil seeker and hobbyist Peter Bennicke From the cliffs called the Stevns clip.

The region is located about 80 kilometers south of Copenhagen. The cliffs are mentioned in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

On a walk Bennicke found unusually stoned fragments of the chalk.

He took the pieces to the Eastern Zealand Museum, where they were identified as the remnants of a sea plant, Merililja.

The parts were interpreted as vomiting. They were scheduled to the end of the Cretaceous, or about 66 million years ago.

Cognoscenti They say that vomiting consisted of at least two different types of sea lilies.

The fish probably put on the parts of the plant that it could not melt.

“The discovery provides information on what the fish ate their time ate,” says Museum’s press release.

Danish Paleontologist Jesper Milan praised the discovery as “really unusual”. He says it helps to explain prehistoric food chains.

“Probably the fish species at that time ate 66 million years ago sea lilies that lived at the bottom of the sea during the Cretaceous.”

Sea lilies are not particularly nutritious. The parts of the plant are calcareous, Milan says.

One The reason for the discovery of Stevns’s clock on the UNESCO World Heritage List is that the K/T-limit is visible in the rock, or nowadays the K-PG limit.

A similar border is visible on the cliffs across the globe. It proves that a large asteroid hit the earth just about 66 million years ago. The attack caused a mass of mass and ended one geological period, the chalk.
