That looks like a nice place :) For a long time I've wanted to make the trip to the "Vaches Noires". Did you find any vertebrate material over there?

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

The area looks very beautiful!  Also the fossils as well. Could you please post photos of the fossils after they have been cleaned up?

The Trigonia is really nice, also the other ones! I think you have there all what you expected to find. Nice trip with nice finds, congrats! :)

Nice finds Gery. Particularly that Myophorella should turn out well. I'd love to get back there again someday.

I certainly like the regular echinoid that you found. Is it a Cidaris?

Hope you enjoyed your trip!

X marks the jackpot! Really nice stuff! :dinothumb:

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
