Last week, I took my son to explore some old quarries in the area. In one of them, we came across these Cretaceous oysters Rhynchostreon suborbiculatum.

Not being a paleontologist, I had to identify them later through online research (hopefully correctly!). And to my surprise, I found a 2024 paper describing this very site. But the biggest surprise? The author is my friend and former classmate!
