The spider-tailed horned viper (Pseudocerastes urarachnoides) is a species of viper endemic to western Iran which was described in 2006. The head looks very similar to that of other Pseudocerastes species in the region, but the spider-tailed horned viper has a unique tail that has a bulb-like end that is bordered by long drooping scales that give it the appearance of a spider. The tail tip is waved around and used to lure insectivorous birds to within striking range.

Empreintes fossilisées de mammifères de l'époque Oligocene dans le Luberon (dalle de Saignon). Empreinte à 3 doigts de Ronzotherium (Rhinoceros), et à 2 doigts d'Entélodon (Phacochère). Ancien rivage boueux d'un lac, la dalle à empreintes fossiles de Saignon est un site exceptionnel où sont conservées des centaines de traces de pas de mammifères (des parents du rhinocéros, du chevrotain ou du phacochère) et des empreintes d’oiseaux, animaux qui peuplaient le Luberon il y a 33 millions d’années. Les sites à empreintes de pas fossiles de mammifères sont très rares à l’échelle de la planète. Le Luberon en présente plusieurs, dont la dalle de Carlet à Saignon. Geoparc du Luberon. France

The Vallon de l'Aiguebrun in the Luberon. The Vallon de l'Aiguebrun is one of the Luberon Geosites. This impressive natural site features a canyon lined with majestic cliffs up to 100 metres high, and a landscape of jagged rocks. The Aiguebrun, which flows from the north of the Luberon into the Durance, carved out this spectacular valley through the Luberon limestone massif, creating what is known as the "Combe de Lourmarin".

Les Mourres de Forcalquier. The rocks that make up today's Mourres were formed in a lacustrine environment around 25 million years ago. They are thought to have originated from the stabilization of limestone sediment by seagrass beds. More recently, differential erosion has uncovered edifices consolidated by algal constructions. The spectacular basin-like shapes are thought to have resulted from the necrosis of the central part of the algal islets as they grew vertically and laterally. France

Lichens in the Luberon. Lichens (Evernia prunastri) cover low branches on a shady, damp Luberon hillside. A perfume base (antioxidant fixative) is extracted from this locally common lichen, giving a rather masculine woody note ("chyprés" perfumes). This lichen is also used in air quality biomonitoring for its bioaccumulative properties of heavy metals and radioelements. France
