Fossiling

The weather yesterday was remarkably nice for the time of year, so I went fossiling in Sølrod municipality. My reasons were because I’d never travelled further south than Ishøj on the S-tog and because this website promised fossilised sharks at Kalstrup lime quarry, and I thought I’d like one for my room.

An hour after leaving the train station at Sølrod in a westerly direction, I was beginning to regret not bringing a map. The area is a hotchpotch of tiny villages and vast open countryside. All I had to go on was a brief glimpse at Google maps twenty minutes before I left home.

I decided to stick to the roads and just enjoy the exploratory walk. During a total walking time of four hours, I remarkably managed to not only find the anticipated kalkgrave, but also to navigate myself to the distant village of Karlslunde and a bus journey home. The only upsetting part was that by the time I reached the quarry, the light was too disappointing for any photography or excavating.
