Rules and safety
The cliff is protected: nothing may be taken from the face, and fossils may be collected only on the beach. Stay on the paths. Exceptional finds are danekræ and must be handed to a museum, for example the Fur Museum.
About the cliff
Fur is an island in the Limfjord, and Knudeklint is a cliff of moler: diatomite layered with bands of volcanic ash. The rocks are about 55 million years old and have preserved over 700 species of fish, birds, insects and plants. The cliff is part of the Western Limfjord UNESCO World Heritage Site.
