The cliff Stevns Klint on the island of Zealand (Denmark) is about 65 to 71 million years old. The cliff consists of four layers: at the bottom is the soft chalk layer, above it a layer of fish clay, then hard limestone, and at the very top traces from the last Ice Age can be found. Until the 20th century, bryozoan limestone was quarried from Stevns Klint, which was used as a building material. This material is now known as sedimentary rock. Photo taken: May 15, 2021.
