Abstract
The Digne-les-Bains ammonite slab is one of the most impressive geosites of the UNESCO Global Geopark of Haute-Provence and Réserve Naturelle Nationale Géologique de Haute-Provence. Its importance rests on the number of fossils as well as their size and the high quality of the outcrop and its huge potential. It is an important subject for research in paleontology and sedimentology, as well as geoconservation. Open to the public since the 1980s it now benefits from new equipment and is ready for new adventures.
