jcbshark Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Beautiful finds, looking forward to pics after prepping Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Nice finds. Thank you very much for sharing. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
Shamalama Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Great finds! Sometimes the rains can be helpful other than watering flowers. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/

Jeffrey P Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Very interesting finds. France certainly does produce magnificent Eocene marine fossils. Glad to see you have access to them. Congratulations and thanks for posting them. I, like the others, am anxious to see these beauties prepped.
