Island of Møn, Denmark
On a recent trip to Scandinavia we stopped by on the Island of Møn in southern Denmark for a few days. It was during the summer season, but I was positively surprised to find a bunch of fossils on the beaches we visited. There are Maastrichian chalk cliffs exposed that lifted due to glacial push during the last ice age. The glaciers also brought a lot of errtics from Sweden that include interesting palaeozoic invertebrates. There is a chalk quarry not too far away that you can visit, but the propect of erratics makes the beaches somewhat appealing to me, and the block with multiple well preserved cephalopods must be the best find. What would you prefer, beach or quarry?
