Pulmonary lichen (Lobaria pulmonaria) in the Vercors. A large foliaceous lichen - one of the largest in Europe - whose thallus commonly exceeds about 30 cm. Like all lichens, it is a lichenised fungus, and like most of them it belongs to the ascomycetes group. Its membership of the cyanolichen category, fungi associated with cyanobacteria, makes it a particularly sensitive organism to atmospheric pollution. It is therefore a species in decline in many regions and has been chosen as a health index for French forests. Ambel forest, Vercors NRP, France

Falaise urgonienne dans le Vercors, Vallée de la Vernaison vue depuis le Pas de l'Allier, le faciès urgonien correspond à un calcaire récifal, construit dans un climat tropical il y a environ 110 millions d'années. Les êtres vivants bioconstructeurs caractéristiques en sont les rudistes, et les orbitolines. L'urgonien constitue une partie très importante des falaises du massif du Vercors, PNR du Vercors, Isère/Drome, France

Fossils (rudists) in Urgonian limestone, the Urgonian facies corresponds to a reef limestone, built in a tropical climate about 110 million years ago. The characteristic bioconstructive living beings are rudists and orbitolines. The Urgonian forms a very important part of the cliffs of the Vercors massif, PNR du Vercors, Isère/Drome, France
