Yo all, for those not sure of a fishing or fossiling holiday in France, maybe this will help.
took the Wib out for his 1st fishing trip down't road at St. Philbert (not that St. Phil), set up next to bridge over the Grand Lay (river). Found a few bits of belemnite shield on the embankment but now't else as we were there to fish ! yeah right !
this lot is once again mainly down to Mrs.B apart from a couple of Harpoceras sections
Note that not happy with finding just one Nautilus, she presented me with the other one 1/2 hour later
the 200mm (8 inch) Harpoceras still has a smidge of shell on it hinting of what is yet to be found with a piece of a huge specimen on the underside ! & the larger Nautilus was just sitting on the ground in the sun
we never looked at the otherside of the bridge so maybe next time ?
