TY - JOUR A1 - Pouit, Daniel A1 - Viaud, Jean-Marc T1 - Des éléphants antiques (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) à Brétignolles-sur-Mer (Vendée, France) T2 - Le Naturaliste Vendéen N2 - Following the 1989-90 winter storms, remains of several straight-tusked elephants as well as a rich quaternary paleoflora were found on the strand of La Parée beach in Brétignolles-sur-Mer (Vendée, France). The story of these findings, the diggings of the bones, the dating and the paleoenvironment of the deposits are mentioned in this article. The sediments are old "peat bogs" which belong to two distinct eras : Pleistocene (peat bog holding the remains of straight-tusked elephants) and Holocene (peat bog showing tracks of Bovidae and prints of tools, and higher peat bogs).
