2015 hunt in the the albian clay of Troyes (Champagne / france)
elcoincoin posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
In november, i had my yearly trip to Troyes area, a bit east of Paris. the hunt takes place on the banks of an artificial lake that has been created to avoid river flood in Paris. The banks can be covered either with silt or dead grass, so you got to look for free surfaces in order to find stuff. From one year to next, grass and slit move, therefore what you can find changes. This year was poor regarding shark teeth but rather good for the crustaceans. We mosstly found crabs carapaces : the usual Notopocorystes stokesii and Etyus Martini including that very fine sample : the less frequent : Cretacoranina broderipii and Eucorystes carteri I also found and that s my first ever, therefore my catch of the trip despite its very modest size : Sabellidromites scarabaea We also got lucky at he shrimp department with several hoplopora sp. Those are always crushed with the head apart from the body but there s sometimes nice details like the legs segments on this one. We also found a good quantity of indet. claws fragments like this one : And to finish with crustaceans we also got that one that get us puzzled for a while : goose barnacle article : Pycnolepas rigida More will follow later with ammonites and vertebrates mostly. You can see more specimen on the galery i dedicated to this trip here : Troyes - nov 2015 galery or on my flickr galery here : flickr of troyes 2015 -
