A bit of fossilised vomit, relationship again to when dinosaurs roamed Earth, has been found in Denmark, the Museum of East Zealand stated on Monday.
The discover was made by an area newbie fossil hunter on the Cliffs of Stevns, a UNESCO-listed web site south of Copenhagen.
Whereas out on a stroll, Peter Bennicke discovered some uncommon fragments, which turned out to be items of sea lily, in a bit of chalk.
He then took the fragments to a museum for examination, which dated the vomit to the top of the Cretaceous period some 66 million years in the past.
In line with specialists, the vomit is made up of at the least two completely different species of sea lily, which have been seemingly eaten by a fish that threw up the components it couldn’t digest.
“This type of find… is considered very important when reconstructing past ecosystems because it provides important information about which animals were eaten by which,” the museum stated in a press launch.

Paleontologist Jesper Milan hailed the invention as “truly an unusual find”, including it helped clarify the relationships within the prehistoric meals chain.
“Sea lilies are not a particularly nutritious diet, as they consist mainly of calcareous plates held together by a few soft parts,” he stated.
“But here is an animal, probably some kind of fish, that 66 million years ago ate sea lilies that lived at the bottom of the Cretaceous sea and regurgitated the skeletal parts.”
