Late Cretaceous Fossils of the South of the Netherlands

Fossils from the Late Cretaceous (68 Mya) of the Netherlands (Maastricht region). Found in the Lichtenberg Horizon, a fossiliferous deposit separating the Maastricht and Gulpen Formations. This layer contains a lot of coral, crinoids, and shell pieces, but also shark, fish, and marine reptile fossils that I would like to share.
