Thanks nala, but it was in the dumps along the roads and in the fields where were shown white sediments... I cannot be more specific because that day we did a LOT on km with a LOT of fossil stops. Let me see if I did pictures that day :)

...,perhaps a new site for me, Nando!? :)

I am sorry , I B):blush: don't like to pollute other member posts with my photos but...

Gery, that's one of the dumps I was speaking about. Now I cannot check in my gps if I memorized or not the place because I have still installed the American TomTom version, in the next days I will switch to the European version and I will check

regards

Nando

Hello Nando,it's always a great pleasure to see the Northern France Landscape and your pictures are so beautiful! :)B) You were very lucky to find these Echinocorys and typical micrasters very well preserved,i used to stop and have a look in this chalk but I never find something preserved in it ,the most interesting would be to know from which quary comes this one,most of the time it's not far from the heap or you should have to follow the tractor!many village have their own chalk quary but very few of them have fossils to collect.
