On the intertidal zone of Le Veillon at Talmond-Saint-Hilaire (Vendée, France), in 1963 Gilbert Bessonnat discovered traces of vertebrate footprints in a Hettangian formation. On March 28th & 29th, at this site a study session was held on the theme: "sites with vertebrate footprints on the Triassic-Jurassic limit". Palæontologists, palæobotanists, sedimentologists, hydrologists, scientific historians and naturalists compared their results and projected further research. This exceptional Vendée heritage site is to be protected and developed.
