Hi everybody. I have only just joined this group. I have a great interest in fossil hunting. ., ,As I live in Normandy ,I haven't found many fossils as yet here. But, I have a small collection that I found around Bognor/Southsea and along the channel. One is a good flinty,.flamingo head. Unimaginable really until it's remembered the Channel was originally a swamp. After reading comments about Villiers sur Mer, I'm thinking of visiting there. I would imagine Ouistriham might be an interesting area.

Limestone mold of perhaps only a part of the phragmocone. This genus could get very large (deep sea goers) and they lasted chronologically for a long time, existing for most of the jurassic and cretaceous periods. It was not possible to determine the zone, since it was found in a loose block at a construction site where several zones were exposed.

This species was one of the most common of its time, but nevertheless it is used as the index fossil for the subzone since its occurence is practically limited to it. It is not easy to differentiate it from the species D.athleticum, which occurs in the same subzone. One main difference is that D.commune has a more rounded whorl section than D.athleticum, which is more oval. Another is that the number of ribs per whorl by D.athleticum remains constant, whereas D.commune has less ribs on the outer whorls as on the inner ones. The first specimen is from France (4 photos), the next 2 photos show a pyritized version in a concretion from a site near Whitby, Yorks., UK as well as the cut and polished version in the last photo. Both come from the Whitby Mudstone Formation. It's always interesting to observe how the same species can be preserved so differently depending in the particular conditions under which they were fossilized. Literature: Howarth, M.K.

A nest of 5 specimens, the largest of which has a diameter of 6cm. The whole thing measures 10x8x4cm. Index fossil for its zone. Literature: Howarth, M.K. (1992): The Ammonite Family Hildoceratidae in the Lower Jurassic of Britain. Monograph of the Palaeontographical Society.

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
