The Maltesholm quarry was an operating quarry mining limestone for the production of the cement produced in the factory nearby. Today the quarry sits abandoned near the village of Östra Sönnarslöv.

When i visited the quarry i could not find interesting minerals. Some quite usual fossils of some shells were found.
