So, did you really think that a “Trouvillasaurus Rex” had been discovered in Trouville-sur-Mer? April Fool ! 🐟😄
We have not found a “Trouvillasaurus Rex”, but we have fossil which are a few million years old, not bad right? The choice of location is not a coincidence… Roches Noires beach is a remarkable site on the Normandy coast, located between Trouville-sur-Mer and Villerville (4km). It owes its name to the large dark blocks scattered on the beach which come from limestone layers of the cliff and which have been covered by algae and lichens. Alternating gentle slopes and vertical walls, and peaking at 60 meters in certain places, the cliffs and this 135 hectare space are partly classified as a “Sensitive Natural Area” by the Calvados department, because they are of paleontological and geological interest.
