Prehistoric 66-million-year-old Vomit Found in Denmark
A team of scientists has made a remarkably unusual discovery in Denmark. Amidst a layer of sediment in the town of Møn, they unearthed a fossilized… vomit.
Yes, you read that correctly – 66 million years ago, a dinosaur felt miserable enough to regurgitate its lunch in what is now Denmark. The vomit, a half-meter deep and 1.5-meter wide deposit, dates back to the Cretaceous period, a time when massive reptiles dominated the Earth.
The discovery was made possible by a collaboration between the Natural History Museum of Denmark and the University of Zurich. By analyzing the fossilized remains, the scientists were able to pinpoint the age of the sample and identify the type of dinosaur responsible for the great purge.
The vomit is said to be a mixture of food snippets and plant material, possibly the remnants of a prehistoric meal. Researchers are now eagerly studying the deposit to gain a better understanding of the Cretaceous period’s ecosystem and the habits of these prehistoric creatures.
