Prehistoric artefacts are a fun way to study our history because one finds out that even those before us had similar experiences. For eg. vomiting?

"Nature really said, "Even dinosaurs had bad days."" quipped one user.

Others poked fun at the vomit fossil, saying that it was a Dinosaur's vomit! Maybe the dinosaur was hungover? We don't know! (Image via X/@FroemelAndy, @thedanielaros)

Some users hilariously guessed what food the prehistorical people ate. Maybe it was something spicy or hot? We'll have to dig deeper. (Image via X/@TheAntzNest)

Netizens were also clearly shocked that vomit could last that long! Uhm guys, have you ever seen a vomit that was days ago? No? Oh. Okay.

"That’s crazy vomit can last that long lol." - one user said
"Who would've thought, vomits can be fossilized." - another one replied

Some also mused that whoever the vomit fossil belonged to, was the G.O.A.T.

"Imagine throwing up so hard it becomes a historical artifact. Truly built different." - one X user reacted

Other users hilariously reacted that maybe the dinosaur was experiencing a tummyache and that's why they vomited. (Image via X/@sycamoressource)

While some netizens said that the 66-million-year-old vomit fossil is the world's first hangover! Guinness Book of World Records, please take note! (Image via X/@thaleslsilva)

X users also seemed confused. Like, this user thinks that the world is only 2025 years old. Maybe, let's open a book, perhaps? (Image via X/@offthetablestn)

Others named the culprit behind the vomit fossil, it's none other than the party-goer type of dinosaur! (Image via X/@bakucorral)

And some, well, realized that some food also sucked during the prehistoric times.

"Talk about a throwback! This fossilized vomit is like ancient social media—proof that some meals just don’t sit well, even after 66 million years!" - an X user exclaimed

How did they unearth a prehistoric vomit fossil?

According to news reports, a local fossil hunter named Peter Bennicke found the fossil and named it Danekræ DK-1295. BUT, that's not all! For the vomit fossil to be officially named as one, it must be evaluated by the National Danekræ committee of the National History Museum of Denmark before being "officially" named as a Danekræ or a "rare national treasure."


Discovering stuff—especially prehistorical is fun and educational because we get to know how the ancient ecosystem worked. Clearly, it has also become a source of humour, now and netizens seem to be having the best time with it.
