Hey Will!

 

It looks like Echinocorys scutata.  Perhaps @Phevo can have a look, too.

Hey Monica

 

It is Echinocorys sulcatus, Echinocorys scutata is from a little older formation.

Is this correct:

 

Echinocorys scutata - Cretaceous

Echinocorys sulcatus - Danian (Paleocene)

 

Since @will stevenson said his is from the Cretaceous, does that make it E. scutata?  Or is the age of his specimen possibly incorrect, making it from the Danian and therefore E. sulcatus?

I agree Echinocorys sulcatus

Exactly, Dalbyover is actually middle Danian (Paleocene) in age

I'm not sure if it actually has one, the clay locations in Denmark have formation names, but the chalk locations do not to my knowledge

 

The location primarily consists of Coccolith chalk and is middle Danian in age

 

Here is a picture of the locality
