Clastic deposits related to alluvial and estuarine environments sedimented during the early Liassic in the Veillon area (south of Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, Vendée, France). A reptile fauna including various taxa, just known by innumerable footprints, lived in that environment, in rather hot and dry climatic conditions.
Un busard cendré, Circus pygargus, consommateur d'oeufs de Sternes pierregarins, Sterna hirundo
(2003)
On the lagoon of Bouin, in the Baie of Bourgneuf in Vendée (France), a Montagu’s harrier has been observed on several occasions eating the eggs of Common Tern. This type of predation does not appear to be very frequent with this species of raptor.
Comparaison des ichnopopulations des Grands Causses (Sud de la France) et du Veillon (Vendée)
(2003)
From descriptive statistic method concerning length (L), width (W) and L/W, it is suggested that Grallator variabilis samples from Vendée (Le Veillon) and Grands Causses belong to the same ichnospecies. Also, by this way, G. maximus of Hettangian of Vendée could be synonym of G. minusculus from USA Hettangian.
Numerous footprints areas has been found, since 1962, in Permian, Triassic and Hettango-Sinemurian. All show precised oriented trackways. So that they were undestood like walking ways but their precise meaning is still enigmatic.
Footprints are numerous in France where they found from Carboniferous to Quaternary levels. Those of Middle Triassic (Anisian-Ladinian) are especialy interesting because they are tridactyl footprints made probably by first dinosaurs. First skelettons are known from Upper Ladinian / lower Carnian.
Tandonia rustica (Millet 1843) (Mollusca : Gastropoda), nouvelle espèce de limace pour la Vendée
(2003)
The slug Tandonia rustica has recently been discovered in the forest of Mervent, in Vendée. After a brief description of the site where the gastropod was found, the author describes the biology, ethology and distribution in France of this species.
Analyse d'un exemple de fossilisation d'une trace de pas de Dinosaure (Lias inférieur des Causses)
(2003)
A calcareous block made of algo-laminated (stromatolitic) material exhibits at its upper surface a foot print of a Dinosaurian. A vertical section (sawing) and a thin section allow to make detailed observations. The early diagenesis permits the preservation of the deformations caused by the foot print.
In the inter/supratidal algal mats, the early diagenesis products a progressive induration. It is enough to preserve all the deformations affecting the mats, including footprints of vertebrates, tracks and burrows of small invertebrates, and physical actions (desiccation cracks).
The region of Talmont-Saint-Hilaire (Vendée, France), located at the contact between the Armorican Massif, the Aquitanian Basin and the Atlantic Ocean, has been studied by many geologists and geographers, over the last three centuries. In the years 1780, silver was mined from the sulphide-bearing ore that occurs at the base of the Jurassic limestones. The stratigraphy of the latter sediments, as well as their relationship with the hercynian basement, was investigated during the 19th and 20th centuries, mainly by Rivière, the author of the first geological map of the area (1838), Cossmann, Vasseur, Péneau, Ters and Butel. As for Gabilly, he considered the anse Saint-Nicolas as a para-stratotype of the Toarcian. A few Authors, mainly Bocquier and Ters, also studied the evolution of the Atlantic coast during Quaternary. They evidenced remnants of several surfaces fashioned by marine abrasion, the age of which was constrained by archaeological studies. In 1963, Gilbert Bessonnat discovered dinosaur footprints, which, however, had already been observed by Bocquier in the years 1930. Montenat and Lapparent studied the occurrence, which proved to be one of the richest in Europe.
La Mémoire des villes
(2003)
Rapport de la conférence sur le Colloque International du Centre d'Etudes Comparatistes de l'Université Jean Monnet 2-4 mai 2002 à Saint-Etienne
Du 2 au 4 mai 2002, un colloque international s'est déroulé en France, à Saint-Etienne, organisé par le Centre d'Etudes Comparatistes de l'Université Jean Monnet. Au cours de ce colloque dont le thème central était 'La mémoire des villes', les divers intervenants ont tenté de cerner les problèmes liés a l'inscription de l'histoire dans respace urbain, et ce du romantisme à nos jours.
