Recent extension works of the quarry of La Gouraudière in Mauzé-Thouarsais (in Deux-Sèvres), and excavation works for the water reservoirs to irrigate the cereal fields in Le Bernard (in Vendée) led to the collection of an interesting fauna of ammonites among which several species are close to the téthysian ones.
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).

In 1911, an excursion of the French Botanical Society made it possible to list all the notable plants of the damp hill of Les Hautes Termelières in the North of La Roche-sur-Yon (in Vendée, France). Nearly a century later, this note states the main plants that are to be found on the hill and more particularly 11 species of ferns.
