A nuclear power plant is not the prettiest background, but Kaloot beach is one of the few places in the Netherlands to find fossils. We went fossil hunting for the first time today and were really pleased with the output. The top row in the right picture shows the fossils we found: shells, shark teeth and fossilised wood. The items below are collected for their beauty. The two small white shells in the middle are antique asian money shells, Kauri, from sunken VOC ships. How special is that! We gathered information about fossils in the book
De fossielen ontdekgids,
printable fossil chart and
fossiel.net (all in Dutch).
Leuk om een stukje Zeeland op je blog te zien! Klein strandje, grote winst zullen we maar denken, leuk! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I had the same kind of place near my home, that is awesome!
ReplyDeletewauw! dat strand kende ik niet. meteen gekeken hoe ver dat van ons weg ligt (ver!)
ReplyDeletewat een mooie dingen vonden jullie, heel bijzonder!
That is so cool! We were just in Drumheller in Canada where there are lots of fossils but there isn't really anything like that in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteAltijd leuk, verzamelen...
ReplyDeleteZiet er geweldig uit, dat verwacht je niet in Nederland.. Hoe wist je het van de betaalschelpen... super!
