minnbuckeye Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Beautiful gastropods. Just curious, where is Fossile Tertiaire? I did a google search and everything that came up was in French, hence no definitive answer. But my brilliant thought process deduced you are from France??

Fossile tertiare is not a location, but a reference to the Cenozoic area. Those fossils are from the area of "Montagne de Reims" where al the Champagne comes from growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Fruitbat Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Those are beautiful! Isn't it amazing how the preservation of some of the Eocene fossils from France seems to mirror the preservation of some Eocene fossils from North America (like Whiskey Bridge in Texas)? -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
