Le Moustier is the name of a village 10 km upstream from Les Eyzies, under the spur of a cliff formed by the intersection of the Vezere and Plazac valleys.
Les Fieux would not command much attention if it were just an isolated case of a small and poorly decorated sanctuary.
This cave of Les Eglises had been the successive shelter not only of Paleolithic hunters but also of Bronze Age peoples whose fragments of pottery have been excavated from the entrance, and, in the thirteenth century, a sect called the Cathars took refuge from religious persecution in the upper galleries of the cave.
This is a monospecific ichnocoenosis consisting exclusively Spongeliomorpha nodosa type B occurring in large- to small-scale trough cross-bedded sandstones of the Grès de la Crèche at LePortel.
The ichnocoenosis predominantly occurs at LePortel and Pointe de la Crèche and is interpreted as an indicator of low to intermediate energy conditions since suspension-feeders are only sparsely represented.
This ichnocoenosis occurs predominantly in isolated, oscillatory-rippled sandstone interbeds in silty clays of the Grès de la Crèche at LePortel.
