Coco I found some fossils of plants in the waste heap of Lodève and Graissessac, so no rare pieces i'm afraid. But considering that it was the first time i went there and that the site of Graissessac in itself is now closed to the public, it's a good beginning. I'll loose less time in searchings when i'll come back there. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

On the other side of the road, in front of the tracks of reptiles i found that little funny thing and wondered if it was due to dessication or something else. It is concave.

Tidgy's Dad Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 What an amazing thread.! Thanks for sharing all these beautiful places and photos with us, Sophie. I remember visiting Carcasonne and, recently , I have been reading a lot more of its history, fascinating and at times horrific. Love the footprints, too. Looks like you had a marvelous time. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco They are pre-mammalian tracks, all i know is that. I'll look for more précisions on them. In the Museum of Lodève we also visited, there is a moulded trail and a natural one.
