Fossilised shark teeth on the shores of Het Zwin | Vroege Vogels

BNN VARA docu-series (Dutch television channel)

On Wednesday 23rd june, a film crew from the BNN VARA docu-series 'Vroege Vogels' (Early Birds) invited us to talk about the paleontological remnants that can be found in the "Zwin" Natural Reserve along the Dutch-Belgian border.

This unique wetland houses a complex mix of fossil, subfossil, and contemporary living organisms within a dynamic coastal setting. Although the majority of the fossils are found ex-situ, it is nevertheless a great educational location where the interaction between man and nature, climate change and sedimentology can be illustrated.
