Rockwood Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I think it could be a sponge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Welcome to the forum. It looks like a sponge in flint (Upper Cretaceous). 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I don’t believe there is any Cretaceous in Paris, but that doesn’t exclude it being Cretaceous. It could have been transported by Le Seine. There is Cretaceous upstream a ways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably from a superficial gravel, either local (there's a lot of Upper Chalk in the Anglo-Paris Basin it could have derived from) or brought in as a surfacing material.
