Manticocerasman Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yesterday my girlfriend and I made a fieldtrip to the Northern French coast. The tides were ideal to search for the whole day in the late cretaceous chalk deposits of Cap Blanc Nez. The start was a bit slow, not a lot of fossils to be seen, but when going further up the beach the first ammonites started to apear. the result of the day where a few decent ammonites ( schloenbachia varians and Mantelliceras sp. ), a few shark teeth: Natalie found most of them and she found a spectacular cowshark teeth, the first one I ever saw from there. My find of the day was a small but complete Cymatoceras ( Nautilus ) 1 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Those finds are awesome! The sharks are all epic, the ammonites look very nice, and the crustaceans pretty cool as well! Nice job “...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...
