Bornholm is Denmark`s rugged rocky island, shaped by a unique and eventful geological history. The geological journey through time leads from ancient crystalline rocks, formed from magma 1.45 billion years ago, to the first traces of life in the Cambrian period, to coal, corals, and catastrophes of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. The most recent deposits discussed in the lecture belong to the Cretaceous period. The lecture shows unusual fossils – such as the Lituites and the cone-shaped hyoliths, whose true nature has only been deciphered a few years ago.
