This fragment of giant inoceramid and his support of tuffeau were used as stone of construction. The form of the set and the tracks of cement give evidence of that.
We can assume that this specimen belongs to the species present in Touraine and described recently in an article signed in particular by agents of the natural history museum of Le Havre.
