Fossil hunting at Stevns Klint
I am working on this page in November 2025. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This is a family-friendly tour where we explore dramatic cliffs, search for ancient fossils, and see the famous fish clay. The tour lasts about three hours and takes place at two sites along Stevns Klint. You’ll need a car — or I can arrange transportation for you.
Dino extinction
Discover the asteroid impact that changed life on Earth forever — told in a way that sparks curiosity for both kids and grown-ups.
Fish clay
See the famous fish clay — the thin, dark layer that shows the exact moment the dinosaurs disappeared.
Finding fossils
Hunt for fossils hidden in the chalk — a real treasure quest kids (and adults) love.
Højerup church
Experience the cliff-top church where graves once slipped into the sea — a real-life Halloween tale kids never forget.
A family adventure through deep time
Step into a world where cliffs tell stories, rocks hold secrets, and the past is suddenly right in front of you. This family-friendly tour brings you face to face with the asteroid impact that caused the fifth mass extinction — the moment dinosaurs vanished and a new chapter of life began.
The fifth mass extinction
You’ll hear the dramatic tale of the asteroid that changed everything, told in a way that sparks curiosity for both kids and grown-ups.
Højerup Old Church
We visit the cliff-top church that stood a little too close to the edge; in 1928, part of it — and several graves — slid into the sea. It’s a real-life, slightly spooky story that children always remember.
Fossil hunting on the beach
Down on the beach, we search for fossils from creatures that lived 66 million years ago. Tiny coccoliths are guaranteed, and lucky families might spot shark teeth, crocodile remains, or even traces of the mighty mosasaur.
The famous fish clay
At head height in the cliff, the thin, dark fish clay layer reveals the exact moment of the meteor impact. Here, you can stand right beside the boundary between two worlds — before and after the dinosaurs.
The tour becomes a mix of adventure, curiosity, and kid-friendly geology, with stories and discoveries that stay with your family long after.
“Enthusiastic and time-generous angled at 6 year old dinosaur enthusiast - "fish clay". Also good information as to local "head height" views of the fish clay layer which we found after a walk over the stones. Good comms and efficient booking process. Excellent stuff.”
