Stevns Klint, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Denmark, is a striking chalk cliff renowned for its geological significance. It features one of the world’s best-preserved Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundaries, marked by a thin layer of fish clay that evidences a massive asteroid impact 66 million years ago, linked to the extinction of dinosaurs and over half of Earth’s species. The cliff’s rich fossil record offers a detailed glimpse into ancient marine ecosystems, making it a globally important natural landmark.
