A fossilised vomit dating back to the late Cretaceous era, approximately 66 million years ago, was discovered in Denmark by amateur fossil hunter Peter Bennicke. The vomit contained sea lily fragments and offers essential insights into the diets and ecological relationships of prehistoric marine life. Experts, including paleontologist Jesper Milan, noted that the find aids in understanding the food chain of ancient ecosystems, particularly how fish interacted with sea lilies, despite their low nutritional value. Such discoveries are vital for reconstructing past environments and dietary habits.
The vomit, discovered by a local fossil hunter, dates back to the end of the Cretaceous era, providing critical insights into prehistoric food chains.
This unusual find informs us about dietary habits and relationships within ancient ecosystems, shedding light on how animals interacted during the late Cretaceous.
