A few days ago, I started in another thread a gallery of fossils from Møns Klint held at the "on-site museum" GeoCenter MK. I thought that it would be more appropriate to continue this gallery in the "A Trip to the Museum" forum. This post will deal with a multitude of fossils that are more common than the exceptional Danekrae fossils (but you'll see that some of them are rather rare). All the fossils pictured here are exhibited at "The Fossil Room". Hope you like them! 2 partial stems of the crinoid Isselicrinus sp. preserved in a single piece of chalk - uncommon 2 nodules of flint that preserve associated and articulated ossicles of the goniasterid asteroid (starfish) Recurvaster sp. - relatively rare Partial mandibular rami from a thoracosaurine crocodylian - unique; no other crocodylian remains have been found at MK (temporarily removed from display to facilitate my research of the specimen in summer) Calyces from 3 Bourgueticrinus constrictus crinoids - relatively common 2 teeth from a Cretalamna appendiculata shark - rare Complete tooth from a Hexanchus microdon shark - rare Articulated and associated ossicles from the goniasterid asteroid Metopaster poulseni (includes at least one arm) - rare Temnocidaris pistillum (cidarid echinoid) spines - relatively common Phymosoma granulosum (phymosomatid echinoid) spines - relatively common Complete Phymosoma granulosum test (echinoid "shell" composed of numerous ossicles) - relatively rare Partial Baculites vertebralis (baculitid heteromorph ammonite) shell - rare Sphenodiscus sp.; almost complete ammonite shell - rare Rather long stem of the crinoid Isselicrinus buchii - relatively rare Well, that was the MK fossil gallery! Tell me what you think about it Best, Christian
