A piece of fossilized vomiting, dating back to when dinosaurs wandered on the ground, have been discovered. DenmarkThe East Zeland Museum said.
This discovery was made by an amateur hunter on Stevens’s slopes, a location listed in UNESCO, south of Copenhagen.
While Peter Pinick was on foot, he found some unusual parts, which turned into pieces of sea lily, in a piece of chalk.
Then the fragments were taken to the examination museum, which dated the vomiting until the end of the Cretaceous period about 66 meters ago.
According to experts, vomiting consists of at least two different types of sea lily, which is likely to eat fish that threw the parts that he could not digest.
“This type of discovery … is very important when rebuilding previous ecosystems because it provides important information about the animals that were consumed,” the museum said in a press statement on Monday.
The excavation scientist Jesper Milan praised the discovery as a “truly unusual discovery”, adding that he helped explain relationships in the food chain before history.
He said: “The marine lilies are not a particularly nutritious diet, as it mainly consists of limestone panels that some soft parts collect.”
“But here is an animal, perhaps a type of fish, 66 meters ago, ate the lilies of the sea that lived at the bottom of the chalk and renewed the structural parts.”
