Grain silos dug into limestone rock in the Middle Ages at the Fort de Buoux site in the Luberon. Fort de Buoux is a medieval fort located in the heart of the Luberon massif in the Vaucluse region. Its watertight grain silos, combined with cisterns and virtually impregnable defenses, enabled the fort to withstand a long siege. France

Ochre in the Bruoux mines (Gargas). The colorful cliffs of the Pays d'Apt Luberon are made up of ochre sands, themselves composed of 80-90% sand and 10-20% ochre. This very fine ochre is a mixture of a white clay, kaolinite, and iron hydroxide and oxide, which give the ochres their color. This coloring matter is used in the manufacture of paints, coatings and other whitewashes, as well as in many other industrial products. After extraction, the ochre sand is washed and the resulting ochre is dried before being sent to the factory for grinding, calcination and packaging. France

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
