thunderhorse Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I'm gaining an interest in fossils as there's so many marine species in the limestone around here. Anybody else into it or can recommend a starting point for exploration from southern Deux-Sèvres? The amber quarries in northern Charente and the cliffs at La Pointe du Chay near La Rochelle are beckoning for a day out.And no, no jokes about living with old fossils! LOL.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 There is a fossil hunterman with a shop in Brantome he is an interesting man and speaks English when he feels like it. He found the most complete sabre tooth tiger skull and has it by the till in his shop.There is loads of stuff in there 34 million year old insects - you name it.
