Late Cretaceous fossil hunt (Europe)

[Fossilsforever]

Hello all,

 

This weekend another fossil hunt in Cretaceous sediments in the Netherlands (late late Campanian, early Maastrichtian, around 72-66 mya (whole late Maastrichtian) and/or (more specific) 70.8-67/70.8-68 mya). 

The wetter was good, a bit warm and even sometimes humid. 

Found some typical Cretaceous fossils. Mainly Belemnites from the species Belemnitella sp. and Belemnella (pachybelemnella) sp. Perhaps some B. (pachybelemnella) obtusa (Schulz, 1979) and one fragment of a sea urchin (Echinocorys sp.). 

Compared to American sites (for example New Jersey), a relatively low diversity of macrofossils. But nonetheless, some nice fossils.
