Main Vein (a quartz-gold vein), outcrop exposure at Nalunaq Gold Mine, southern Greenland Inoceramus steenstrup, world's largest fossil mollusk, found on the Nuussuaq Peninsula in western Greenland. Greenland is the largest island on Earth. Only one-fifth of its surface area is exposed bedrock, the rest being covered by ice.
Fossils of Ceratitidae are found in the Triassic marine strata throughout the world, including Asia, Europe, the Middle East, ...
Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single geographic site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed.
The Wealden Group, occasionally also referred to as the Wealden Supergroup, is a group (a sequence of rock strata) in the lithostratigraphy of southern England.The Wealden group consists of paralic to continental (freshwater) facies sedimentary rocks of Berriasian to Aptian age and thus forms part of the English Lower Cretaceous.
The Burgess Shale is a series of sediment deposits spread over a vertical distance of hundreds of metres, extending laterally for at least 50 kilometres (30 mi). [18] The deposits were originally laid down on the floor of a shallow sea; during the Late Cretaceous Laramide orogeny, mountain-building processes squeezed the sediments upwards to their current position at around 2,500 metres (8,000 ...
Pictured is a lump of 66-million-year-old vomit found on the Cliffs of Stevns, a geological site on the Danish island of Zealand that is comprised of a 15 km-long fossil-rich coastal cliff.
Fossil footprints of dinosaurs from the Hell Creek Formation are very rare. As of 2017, there is only one find of a possible Tyrannosaurus rex footprint, dating from 2007 and described a year later. [19] The largest Triceratops skull ever discovered, nicknamed 'Dragon King', was found in Glendive, Montana, which is in the Hell Creek Formation ...
Millions of prehistoric marine fossils were discovered beneath a California high school over the course of a multi-year construction project. The relics recovered at San Pedro High School included ...
