Digonella digona brachiopod from Luc sur Mer, France
Along the coast of Normandy, France there is a town called Luc sur Mer (literally Luc on the Sea). Nearby are some cliffs that are Bathonien (Jurassic) in age and contain some interesting Brachiopod fauna. Below is Digonella digona which belong to the order Terebratulida one of three extant Brachiopod orders.
