Rare 66-Million-Year-Old Tiny Fossil Discovered in Maastricht Quarry

A tiny 1.55-millimeter fossil of a Cyclida, an extinct crustacean, has been discovered in a quarry near Maastricht. The 66-million-year-old find was brought to the museum two years ago by a Belgian collector. Researchers at the National Primeval Museum in Boxtel say the rare fossil provides surprisingly significant insights.
