Google Street View does Fossils!

Ammonite Streetigraphy! One of the most famous French fossil localities is La Dalle à Ammonites (the Ammonite Slab) 1.5km north of Digne-les-Bains in the geological reserve of Alpes de Haute Provence. There are about 1500 ammonites, mostly Coroniceras multicostatum dating from the Lower Jurassic.
To find it type 44.119451,6.234215 (the latitude and longitude) into Google Earth and then just drag the little orange human figure on the left hand side on to the location and swing around. Fantastic!!
