The Faluns Sea is a former sea which covered Western France from 16 to 3.5 Ma. It spreads from Normandy to Vienne by forming an inlet through what is today Brittany, Anjou, Touraine and Blésois. After its withdrawal it left behind it a stone rich in fragmentary shells called falun. The sea got its name from this sedimentary rock known for being rich in fossils.

  • La mer des Faluns est une ancienne mer aujourd'hui disparue ayant recouvert l'Ouest de la France il y a environ 16 à 3,5 Ma (Millions d'années). Elle s'étendait de la Normandie jusqu'en Vienne en formant un bras de mer passant par la Bretagne, l'Anjou, la Touraine et le Blésois. Après son retrait elle laissera derrière elle une roche riche en débris coquilliers appelée le falun. Elle doit donc son nom à cette roche sédimentaire connue pour être extrêmement riche en fossiles.
