On the 20th of March, the PhD students and Ruth Plets visited our Dutch colleague Prof. Dr. Frank Wesselingh in Naturalis (Leiden, The Netherlands). Here we discussed the shell-sampling results from the malacological analysis. The shells were sampled from cores taken in the Southern Bight (Axial Channel), Dogger Bank and Oyster Ground. The results will aid us in understanding the depositional environment of the sediments.
We also got a quick tour in the Naturalis museum as well as in the archives, more specifically the shells archives. We thank Prof. Dr. Frank Wesselingh for this wonderful, educational day!
