Trunk of tree horsetail (Calamites) fossilised in Carboniferous sandstone, planted with maritime pine. Diameter 30 cm - length 3 metres - Calamites is a genus of fossil plants of the Sphenophyta group, close to horsetails.

Dalle aux Arenaygues = stone flowers witnessing the Devonian 360million years ago. Jean Pierre Dugène discovered it in 2010. Rare circular structures with a radiating shape reminiscent of a cartwheel. In the center of the structure is the opening of a chimney for the escape of water and sand, fossilized. These structures were created during an earthquake in sediments of detrital origin deposited in the shallow sea. These 'Arenaygues' are considered to be the most characteristic and best preserved specimens in the world. Ossau Valley, Pyrenees, France
