The history of the earth made it possible for the Lengede ore deposit to develop. The roots go back 86 million years, when the Lengede-Broistedt debris ore deposit was formed during the Upper Cretaceous in the Santonian. Ores transported from the sea accumulated in a natural sediment trough. The fossil finds accessible as a result of ore mining originate from the deep and deep sea.
open-cast mines. Numerous large ammonites were recovered from deep mining, while the majority
of the fossils come from the open-cast mines.
The fossils recovered during ore extraction are
preserved in different ways. The invertebrates are preserved in stone cores, while vertebrates have been documented by tooth finds and bones. Numerous specimens can be admired in a special exhibition in the town hall. All in all, Lengede has a rich fauna that documents life at the time of the Middle Santonian, around 86 million years ago. Three large ammonites are on display in the exhibition in the town hall. Ammonites are cephalopods that became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period and are of particular importance both for the Santonian strata of Lengede and as guide fossils.
