Limestone of crinoids. Bioclasts are skeletal fossil fragments of once living marine or land organisms that are found in sedimentary rocks laid down in a marine environment—especially limestone varieties around the globe, some of which take on distinct textures and coloration from their predominate bioclasts—that geologists, archaeologists and paleontologists use to date a rock strata to a ...
Additional vertebrate fossil fragments have been found at twelve locations, generally along the contact between the Jose Creek and Hall Lake members, that include ceratopsian frill and jaw fragments, ankylosaur armor fragments, a sauropod femur, and the holotype specimen of Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis (found by a yachtsman in 1983.)

Local fossil hunter Peter Bennicke found the fossil at Stevns Klint - a Unesco-listed coastal cliff in the east of the country. ... Mr Bennicke took the fragments to be examined at the Museum of ...
In the summer of 2003, fossil fragments from three additional specimens were discovered. However, these specimens were less complete than their predecessor, and so the original specimen was made the holotype when in 2006 the type species Xuanhuaceratops niei was named in the journal Acta Geologica Sinica by Zhao Xijin, Cheng Zhengwu, Xu Xing ...
Fossil of Minatogawa Man 1, replica, exhibited in the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo. All skeletons were found buried inside a vertical fissure in the limestone rock, about 1 m (3 ft 3 in) wide, which had been filled over millennia by residual red clay mixed with travertine, limestone fragments and bones. Suzuki's excavation was ...

A local amateur fossil hunter made the find on the Cliffs of Stevns, a UNESCO-listed site south of Copenhagen. While out on a walk, Peter Bennicke found some unusual fragments, which turned out to ...
The Leakey team and others argued that, due expanded cranial capacity, [4] gnathic reduction, relatively small post-canine teeth (compared to Paranthropus boisei), [7] Homo-like pattern of craniofacial development, [8] and a precision grip in the hand fragments (which indicated the ability for tool use), set OH 7 apart as a transitional species ...
