Eagle Ray Fossil Found in Netherlands

A fifty-million-year-old eagle ray fossil—discovered in Dutch sandstone and now on display at the Hunebedcentrum—is rewriting history as the first of its kind ever found in the Netherlands. Once mistaken for a glacial erratic, this ancient dental plate reveals a warm, subtropical sea that once covered the region, offering a vivid glimpse into prehistoric marine life and food chains. Even more astonishing? The same dredging company unearthed the Netherlands’ oldest fossil—a 600-million-year-old worm. This find isn’t just rare—it’s a portal to Earth’s deep past, and you can see it for yourself right now. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
