Industrial scale of chalk production started in 1864 in Kvarnby and soon there were several factories. In the end of the 19th century deerbones were found in the chalk layers and it was hard to believe that the bones were of similar age as the chalk occurrence. Further investigations proved that they had been left in old shafts for flint. Carbon dating of charcoal showed that mining had occurred between 4000 and 3600 years BC. Several hundred shafts had been dug down to 10 meters in order to get the best flint quality.
A number of smaller quarries exist N&NE of S Sallerup church at Ängdala (in production (-94).
