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

Fossilized mammal footprints from the Oligocene period in the Luberon (Saignon slab). Footprint of Ronzotherium (Rhinoceros) and Entelodon (Warthog). A former muddy lake shore, the Saignon fossil footprint slab is an exceptional site where hundreds of mammal footprints (relatives of the rhinoceros, chevrotain and warthog) and bird prints are preserved, animals that populated the Luberon 33 million years ago. Fossilized mammal footprint sites are extremely rare worldwide. The Luberon has several, including the Carlet slab in Saignon. Geoparc du Luberon. France

Small pyrite ammonites in Aptian grey marls. The gray marls around Apt were proposed by Alcide d'Orbigny as a reference for the Aptian stage, for their rich paleontological content. Some thirty different species of ammonites have been recorded in the Tuilière sections, and belemnite rostrums are abundant in certain levels, as are gastropods and lamellibranchs (oysters and plicatula). These marls also yield corals, sea urchins, brachiopods and shark teeth. The Aptian is the penultimate stratigraphic stage of the Lower Cretaceous. It extends from ≃ -121.4 to ≃ -113.0 Ma, succeeding the Barremian and preceding the Albian (Secondary or Mesozoic Era). France

Broken fossils of rudists in a limestone rock in Biscay. Bivalve from the Secondary Era, with very uneven, rough valves, one horn-shaped and attached to the rocks, the other flat and serving as a lid. (The accumulation of rudists has formed veritable reefs ["rudist limestones"] where all the usual fauna of reef facies can be found. Basque Country, Spain
