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
