Limstone and fossils in Öland

Fossils are beautiful prehistoric relics and one could hardly wish for clearer evidence of the landscape and habitats existing here millions of years ago. But the supply is not limitless, and it will not be replenished. So it is important that fossil-gathering should be carefully and considerately undertaken, so that a future generation will also be able to take pleasure in these beautiful remains and scientists after our time will have material for study.
