该系列遗产位于丹麦日德兰半岛北部利姆水道西段海域，由汉克利特（Hanklit）和克努德克林特（Knudeklint）海岸悬崖组成，这里有着一些世界上保存最完好的鱼类化石。遗产地是研究白垩纪末大灭绝后现代硬骨鱼类（真骨鱼类）早期演化和分化的最古老、也是最重要的遗址。化石保存于富含硅藻土的沉积层和火山灰层中，其卓越的化石记录跨越古新世—始新世极热事件及其后的降温时期，为生物对重大气候变化的反应提供了独特证据。当地蕴藏丰富且保存极为完好的海洋和陆地生物化石，包括鱼类、海龟、鸟类、昆虫、植物和微体化石，为认识始新世初期生物圈提供了极佳窗口。其中含25-29个鱼类目和80多个鱼类物种化石，记录了早期现代鱼类谱系在环境快速变化时期的演化与适应。

The serial property, located in the Western Limfjord sea of northern Jutland, Denmark, comprise the coastal cliffs of Hanklit and Knudeklint, which contain some of the world’s best-preserved fossil fishes. The property represents the oldest and most important site for understanding the early evolution and diversification of modern bony fishes (teleosts) following the end-Cretaceous mass extinction. Preserved within diatomite-rich deposits and volcanic ash layers, the exceptional fossil record spans the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and the subsequent cooling period, providing unique evidence of biotic responses to major climatic change. The property contains abundant and exceptionally well-preserved marine and terrestrial fossils, including fishes, sea turtles, birds, insects, plants, and microfossils, offering an unparalleled insight into the earliest Eocene biosphere. It preserves between 25 and 29 fish orders and more than 80 fish species, documenting the evolution and adaptation of early modern fish lineages during a period of rapid environmental change.
