Gram Clay Pit, Paleontology museum and clay pit in Haderslev Municipality, Denmark.

The Gram Clay Pit consists of layers of sediment revealing an ancient seabed with marine fossils from 10 million years ago.

The site transformed from a tile production facility into a museum housing Denmark's most complete fossil collection known as The Gram Formation.

The museum exhibition displays numerous whale skeletal remains, marine fossils, and a tooth from the prehistoric shark Carcharocles Megalodon.

Visitors receive fossil hunting equipment, guidance, and access to educational programs during regular museum hours, with free parking available on site.

The clay pit contains a 35-meter-thick layer of fine-grained clay deposited when the area was submerged under an ocean 50-100 meters deep.
