On another rock i brang back from Angoulins sur Mer, there was that shape. I made a little preparation in order to make visible sufficiently of it. The part i show is 4 cm of width and a little more of lenght ( the center shape + the one above and the one below). But it continues under the matrix and shows a little upper of that shape, on the left, and on the other side. I suppose it could be some kind of crustacean, but i am not sure at all. I thank you in advance for your help on this. Sophie.

I bought some shells and the seller gave me these extras which he can't ID. Can anyone help me ID some of them? I'm guessing the long ones are Dentalium sp. but no idea about the rest.

This ammonite gives its species name to the so-called "Comptum bank", which is widespread in Europe, as well as the comptum subzone. The ribs are more pronounced and the whorls are wider than by L.opalinum. Literature: Rulleau, L. (1979): Geologie et Paleontologie des Carrières Lafarge à Belmont (Rhone), Section Geol. d.

I recently tried to find out in which formation this was found and discovered to my consternation that the French don't apply formation names to their lithology. The iron sulphide rich limestone matrix of the Leioceras Beds give the fossils an attractive color. Literature: Rulleau, L.

Les Vaches Noires is a french famous hunting spot, well known for its Callovian and Oxfordian clays. Some really nice stuff has been found there end of 2016, including croc bones and teeth and plesiosaur bones. Unfortunately, I diddnt got the opportunity to go hunt there during that time. My fist opening windows was during february high tide but i didnt manage to find any reptile stuff. heres a link to the flickr album of this hunt : https://flic.kr/s/aHsktr4d4K So here a global picture of the site. Either you hunt at the bottom of the cliff or on the beach when the clay layer isnt covered by sand. On the left :the beach layer as the tide covering it back : A few in situ pictures : wood (unfortunately most of time hard to preserve) Ammonites (same, depending on the layer they belong to, they often cant be saved) A pyritized small one in situ and a few gastropods (those can be find by dozens in certain layers) Despite i didnt any reptile stuff, the hunt after cleaning appeared to be quite good. some snarge nicely preserved gastropods and bivalves. Here's an appetizer and one of the catch of the day: Gastropod "Pleurotomaria munsterii" with a crinoid article on it : Regards
