elcoincoin Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 This summer we had a 3 days trip with the club in Le Havre Area, down the huge white cliffs Day One : First day, we headed to Antifer Cape. The huge coincidence was that despite it been planned for monthes, we reached the place a few day afer a big part of the cliff collapsed. Video here : Since it looked too fresh and still very dangerous we headed a bit further. Here s a link (fench sorry) explaining the geology of the area Saint Jouin Geology Some of us decide to break up Albian clay block on the beach, some others ventures further for the cenomian blocks Wasnt too lucky so the only noticeable thing i found was that micraster and a lot of nice iron pyrite. Second day we headed to Senneville Senneveille geology We started the tough and long walk to our destination at low tide to pass the tricky aread before high tide. After 1 hour of walk on the shore we reached our aim and started to break the Turonian chalk for usrin. That day was way better for me, mostly micraster decipiens micraster decipiens : micraster decipiens micraster sp Double micraster decipiens Flint / chalk / calcite echinocorys gravesi Undet. regular ursin a brachiopod on matrix : Kingena elegans Best of : Last day we headed to Veulette sur mer Geology of veulette Plan was to break flint blocks to get loose ursin inside. Veulette is Coniacian period I was bit exhausted from previous day, and god, that flint is so hard ot break. Found that one After a while i didnt have the energy anymore and had to drive a long way home after a pretty good trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Nice urchins... They seem to be plentiful and fully inflated in all Cretaceous areas except here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokiehunter Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Holy Moly! That cliff collapse was incredible. The sound and airflow of that must have been incredible in person. Happy we don't have cliffs that unstable in the mid atlantic fossil area. Not sure I'd have the guts to hunt under those rock slabs. BTW... Congrats on the beautiful finds.
