caterpillar Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Every year for Easter week, I go to the Atlantic coast near Biarritz. Walking on the beach and looking for fossils is very nice. We can find echinoids (Stegaster, Schyzaster,...), ammonites (Pachydiscus), crabs (Harpactoxanthopsis) and also vertebrate (Ray) 7 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 That ray plate is awesome! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crabfossilsteve Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Cool finds. Too bad those crabbies were not found and recovered sooner, but cool to see them in cross section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
