Hello all I found this gastropod about 18 months ago in the Provence province in France. The spot should be Cenomanian in age. It's about 1 cm wide. It's not the best picture but the fossil itself is not all too well defined. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, Does anybody know what this might be? Found in a stream in the forest in the region of calvados, Normandy,France. I have never found anything like this. U cant really see the details of the thing sticking out of the spongelike matrix in the pics cause my camera is not the best. But here we go:

I tried to walk away and let this go, but it’s really bugging me. This fish is confusing the heck out of me. I came across it on the ever popular auction site. The seller states that it is a juvenile Fundulus goreti from the Oligocene in France. The thing that bugs me the most is I can’t find ANY information on that species (apart from one mention in a 1940’s paper)! I’m starting to wonder if it even exists. Also, and I could be completely wrong, I can’t find any information on any Fundulus species in France. Am I not looking hard enough, or the correct way? Am I crazy? Most importantly, can anyone shed some light on what it may actually be?

Hello everyone, During this time of pandemic lockdown (since March 17 here in france) I take a walk in the forest sometimes since I cant go to the beach to search for fossils, im in the area of calvados about 7 km from the coast and these are some of the things I found the other day walking along a dried river in the forest. I believe no.1 is a piece of petrified wood, it's heavy and have very well preserved details that look like wood. The other pieces I'm not sure, they are all heavy like rock and in some of them you can see rock. But I have no idea what they are. Size of the wood piece is 15 cm for scale. Thank you in advance for your help,

I have some teeth from Cognac area to ID. Selachians found are Parvodus, Polyacrodus, Lissodus, Hybodus, Hybodontidae, Rhinobatidae but I don't know them. Is someone knows this fauna ? Here are 4 pics done with my phone, but perhaps I have to try with an APN... They are very very small. It is written "Portlandian" on the pics but the right stage is Berriasian. I think I have 2 different species in my collection, and I must do a lot of pics Thanks for you help. Coco

Since we have to avoid crowded places due to the current situation , it was a good excuse to go out fossil hunting in the open. We went to the beach at the Cenomanian chalk cliffs, and we were in for a big surprise. The day before we got there, there was a big spring tide, the high water levels cleaned up all of the scree piles from the winter landfalls. Lots of fossils were emerging from the lose boulders on the beach, sometimes even just laying around waiting to be picked up. We even got a few new species for our collection: Natalie found a nice Turillites scheuzerianus and I found a straight shelled Sciponoceras baculoides. And of course multiple large ammonites of the more common species like Acanthoceras and Cunningtoniceras. This might be one of the best field trips we ever got at this location. lots of ammo's: After spending most of the sunday prepping: Sciponoceras baculoides: Turillites scheuzerianus:

Some goodies from the last few monthes (Trilobites heavy topic)
elcoincoin posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi all, I have been more or less away from the forum for the last few monthes. Life has been hectic. And if i still managed to go on the field quite a lot, i did have any time left for the rest (writing, taking photos, processing stuff, labelling etc). Nevertheless, i finally manage a quick photo session. As an appetizer, what is prolly the best piece for quite some time. A double trilo, Eodalmanitina sp, one preserved with his caudal spine. So 2 rocks as a starter . I had to sacrifice part of the 2 counterprints, to unveil the opposite trilo... Regards.

Presentation of an Oligocene outcrop in southern france
Pixpaleosky posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
This time let's have a look in Oligocene, one of my favorite. The Oligocene in this topic includes 2 different localities with slighlty different periods of time : Stampian (-33.9 - 28.1) and Chattian (-28.1 -23). Back in time, Europe experienced a distension at the origin of a great tear of the continental crust: the Western European rift, which produces an alignment of ditches of collapse from the North Sea to the Gulf of Lion. Lakes, with locally marine connections, occupy these ditches. The best example is the series of great Oligocene lakes of Provence. The climate is cooler and drier than in the previous era. As a result, the environment is modified: extinctions and replacements occur within wildlife. Following the refreshment, the flora has a sub-temperate character. It is thus dominated by the elements of the North European flora associated with warmer species, witnesses of earlier flora that survived the cooling. Provence at this time is covered with a series of lakes (depressions of Aix, Apt and Manosque). At the bottom of these silts were deposited on large thickness, forming limestone in thin sheets, fossilizing fauna and flora. We can discover fish, leaves, insects, and exceptionally were found crocodile, birds, bats, frogs ... The sea was close and sometimes corresponded with the lakes. The climate was tropical, from where an abundant flora composed of palms, pine trees … Finally, the Pyreno-Corsican-Sardinian massif gave way and left the sea rush into Provence, covering the lands that were previously emerged. The lakes give way to a warm and shallow sea, which I invite you to discover on the previous topic: Presentation of a Miocene outcrop form Souther France The rock is made of very thin layers which have to be opened carefully to discover the fossils. Some pictures will speak better:.jpg.2835837d28871ecc303c54e57a630be0.jpg)

This specimen came to me via Sophie @fifbrindacier, @Coco and Santa. It is from the Eifelian, Middle Devonian of Col d'Aubisque, France and was labelled Calceola sandalina, which it clearly isn't, but may be a coral. Any ideas, anyone? It is sort of rectangular, widening upwards, but concave on each of the four sides. No signs of horizontal growth lines. Thank you, Adam. Reverse. 'Narrow' sides : Bottom - narrow end : Top - wide end :

Hey folks... Here is a question that came up today at work. Did anyone find fossils in all the rock that was brought to the surface when the Chunnel was being built? Did any of you folks in southern UK and northern France get to have a look at these rocks? Thanks
