French Oligocene Eggshells


Cpt. Nemo

Recommended Posts

The typical lakeside bird Palaelodus, the close relation of flamingos and grebes, laid their eggs in nests installed on the banks of lakes shallow, even in floating nests. Eggshells fallen in the water were protected, with the rest of the small lakeside flora and fauna.

I look mainly of the vertebrate, and for trilobites. But I study any proposal of exchange.

Are they reserved with something? in your second picture a few look like shiny spots in a dull grey sea.

'preserved'? yes, I think so. I got some eggshells from Capt Nemo.... and they are indeed cool.
