Fish Vomit Fossilised

 Fish Vomit Fossilised

A correspondent sent me THIS LINK, for which I thank him. It concerns the find by an amateur fossil hunter of what turned out to be fish vomit. It consist of all the indigestible bits of what some fish had eaten. You can see bits of crinoid.

It comes from Stevns Klint which has some renown as a place where the contact between the Cretaceous and Paleogene can be seen, with its iridium enriched layer.

The specimen comes from the Cretaceous and helps us envisage life beneath the waves at that time.
