Hello! This topic will show my personal finds from the Ignaberga Quarry, Sweden. 

 

Ignaberga is a quarry in Skåne County, Sweden. It is in the Kristianstad Basin. The age is Upper Cretaceous. Santonian to Maastrichtian. But most of the outcrops are Lower Campanian in age. 

 

The environment was a warm to subtropical shallow inland sea with an archipelago and small Peninsulas.

 

I will be updating this thread with pictures of my finds.

 

Enjoy & regards - Adriano

Here is a small gastropod steinkern, around 1 cm.  Gastropods are rare in the Kristianstad Basin. As they rarely preserve in our Cretaceous sediments.

 

This was found in Ignaberga Quarry. The exact bed zone layer is unknown.
