Hey all, After a horrible busy year @ work .. I finally got the chance to go for a few quick trips. For me this means the awesome beach of Cap Blanc Nez, France. Not too much wind, a lot of ppl that searched during summer .. I wasn't expecting much, it was as important to be out oce more then to collect .. I'm sure you know that feeling :-) It's about a 50min drive from my place .. so I mostly go for a morning or more rarely some afternoon. Depending on the tide and, oh yes, my work. This is from 2 times 3-4hours searching. I have to say, the second trip, there was at least 200 people looking for fossils. It's a popular place for excursions from schools and universities. As was that day .. Nevertheless, it helps if you know what you are looking for (this being one of fossil' hunters most important keep-in-minds). These just came out of paper last days.. I hope I'll get to show you the preps of these ..we'll see... There are Ammonites Belemites Fish vertebrea Hamites sp. Turitella sp. Shark tooth Inoceramus sp.(and others) petrified wood (partially pyritised) .. Edit: Finds are Albian and Cenoman of age (middle-Cretaceous)
