Hi, someone i know from a french forum found the following piece and have difficulties to get an ID. So i told her i was on this forum and asked her if i could post her photos here. She hesitated between a coral, an anthozoan or a sponge. We both think this is a sponge but don't know the species. The scale is in centimeters and the stage is Hauterivian to Aptian (see the tags). What do you think it is ? Thanks very much for your participation.

I found this on a boarder of a road in the region of Touraine, France. It is 3,5 cm of lenght, 2,5 cm of hight and 2 cm at the largest. It is relatively light. The soils around are turonian or senonian but i believe it might be more recent :

This ammonite is about 8 cm, it is from the Turonian - Senonian (-91 to -83 my) of Touraine, France. The ammonites listed in the official geological documents are : Barroisiceras haberfellneri, Romaniceras deveriai and Sphenodiscus requienus. I think this one is a Sphenodiscus but i am not expert enough, so i ask your opinion.

From the Turonian - Senonian (-91 to -83 my) of Touraine, France, i found this pelecypod, that, i believe, might be a Cucullea beaumonti. It is about 3 cm wide and 2,5 hight.

Another piece i found in the Turonian- Senonian (-91 to -83 my) of Touraine is that brachiopod. It is about 3,5cm wide and hight. It is probably a Cyclothiris (or Rynchonella) vespertilio, but as i know little about brachios, i need your opinion :

Hi everybody, i found some items in the department of Loir et Cher, region Touraine, at about 200 km at the south of Paris, France. The place where i found it covers from the Turonian to the Senonian (-91 to -83 my). Most of the sponges you find there are siphoniae or chenendoporae, but you can also find jereae, phymatellae or pachysalaxe. I think this one might be a chenendopora. It is in black silex and is about 7 cm wide and 6 hight.

Hi all! Found two stones last summer in Aubrac, France. I found them in between many other stones in a property near Laguiole. I have no clue of the age of the fossils. When I picked them up I was pretty sure they were fossil plants, but now I'm starting to think a bit differently. I'm starting to think that the first stone has dendrites; but for the second I can't make out anything. What are your opinions? Best regards, Max

Here is a tooth my colleague found a lot of years near Cognac (Charente, France). It is from a sedimentary facies Purbeckian (Late Jurassic, Lower Cretaceous). The quarry was in the marl, we found many reptiles, teeth and fish scales there, and of very small shark teeth. The size is 4 cm (1" 3/5) Thanks for your help. Coco

During the Christmas holidays, i had the opportunity to go out again for a trilobites hunt. Could spend 2 days there splitting shale. The site is Ordovician. The plan is to split good looking shale blocks, the bigger the better. For site pictures, you can go check on my previous report here I manage to find nearly complete or nearly complete bugs. The first morning, complete ones took their time to show up. The first one was this one : Neseuretus tristani, the most common on the site, but still a cool piece. On it's own it would have make my day. I will post more in a few days
