Hello all,

Found some nice Cretaceous fossils in my area (Limburg). Most of the fossils are between 70.6 and 69.3 million years old. Fossils from the Vijlen Chalk (Vijlen 0-3 and Vijlen 4-6) are approximately between 70.6 and 69 million years old. Including the latest part of the late late Maastrichtian, the age for all late Cretaceous fossils from Limburg is 72-66 mya.

-one belemnite phragmocone (Steinkern/internal mold/impression);

-one part of a sea urchin spine;

-two oysters (small). One Pycnodonte vesicularis (Lamarck, 1806) and one other oyster (same species?);

-one sea urchin (possibly Cardiaster sp. From the Kalksteen van Kunrade (macrofossils are rare in this chalk).
