Hi, I wet fossil hunting in a Cenomanian site and I found this piece. I think this is a Rudist valve of Requienia but I'm not sure to be right. What do you think mates? @abyssunder @FranzBernhard? The size is a little less than the size of a hand (about 15 cm or 6 inches).

The last ones (for the moment) of the pieces i have found yesterday in the Kimmeridgian of the department of Charentes Maritimes. 1) I think that those are Trichites saussurei Pictet, the matrix is 13 cm of length (about 5 inches) and 9 cm of width (3,6 inches) :

A new fossil hunting in the Charentes Maritimes

Hi, last week i was in holidays in the department of Charentes Maritimes, in a place where you have kilometers of uncovered seabed and where the nearest isle is reachable by foot when the tide is low.

Hello, everybody, Yesterday i went fossil-hunting in the department of Charentes Maritimes at the foot of white chalk cliffs. Instead of the urchins i hoped to find i found lot of things. For example, those corals : 1) a nice pink coral bloc of 24 cm (9,6 inches) of length and 18 cm (7,2 inches) of width, do have any idea of its species ?

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 also found those two pieces of matrix. 1) On that first one where there is a coral i suppose is a Montivalvia contorta (i show it in a precedent post), i see a terebratule, an imprint of Regoria dufreynoyi (am i right @abyssunder ?) and an internal cast of ? that is 2 cm (almost 1 inch). I wonder if it could be a part of diceras arietinum, but it doesn't completely resemble the one i posted, so, i am not sure :

One of my finds of yesterday is that helicoidal shape. I don't know if this is an ammonite or something else (maybe a caprinidae ?) There are other shapes like this in all the bloc, but they are hardly visble. It is obviously limestone because it fizzes a little with vinegar. I'd like to free it out from its matrix. Except vinegar i only now the technic of freezing and heating, but the matrix is really too big for this : 22 cm of length (almost 9 inches) and 19 cm of width (about 7 inches) :
