fifbrindacier Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi, today i went back were i found my first trilobites but this time my husband and i went a little further on the way. It's a mythic col in the history of the cycle race Tour de France, a hard pass to reach and the cycles amateurs love to climb it. They were numerous to do so, the sun was shining and hot, it is summer and as childs are on holidays there was a lot of families. So, we arrived there early to have the most time possible alone. For that we woke up at five o'clock, started at six and were up there at about eight. There, among some lovely flowers, 2 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Tidgy's Dad Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Lovely photos, I adore those horses and the views! Some great finds too, you must be very pleased with the trilos. The 'trilobite larvae' are actually the internal molds of brachiopods! 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbuckeye Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The Pyrenees Mountains were something that we had to learn about in high school geography or possibly use as an answerin the tv game show "jeopardy". I have always remembered where the mountain chain was located, but I had no visual concept of the mountains, only a dot on a map. Thanks for bringing these mountains alive and with such vivid color. They are beautiful and much taller than I anticipated. I used google earth to tour the region and found spots that were around 9500 feet tall! As for the fossils, they are great finds too. I love picking up fossils at this kind of elevation because it shows just how dynamic our earth's crust is. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are brachiopods. The little imprint on top is called the delthyrium I think. Nice finds 2 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

They spread on several countries : France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Switzerland, Czech republic, Croatia,... All the great competitions of alpin skiing occur in the Alps. The Pyrenees only spread on France and Spain. They are less hight and have less snow, so, they're less known and there is less tourism. But, being smaller, the landscape give you the impression to be nearer, almost more "human". Its highter pic, the Aneto, is in Spain and is about 11 168 feet hight. 1 hour ago, Raggedy Man said: Beautiful draft horses. Belgians yes?
