Today features a couple more fossils from the region around Caen in France. Some of the local rocks have a characteristic tan color with small red Hematite concretions scattered within. This gets translated to the fossils as well giving them a distinctive look.
Here is a Trigonia sp. pelecypod. It is complete but the left valve is not in good shape so I didn't take a picture of it.
Right valve
Next is the brachiopod Loboidothyris ingens. This specimen is very large, close to 5cm in length.
Brachial valve
Thanks to Gery for sending me these fossils!
