The 21 mars 2026
Centre de Rencontre de l'Obélisque 60300 SENLIS
The Senlis Society of History and Archaeology invites you to a lecture:
Palaeontological science in the Oise: when the history of an area is told through its subsoil. By Aurélien Morhain, former student at the University of La Rochelle (history, then palaeontology), member of several regional palaeontological associations.
Among the Earth sciences, palaeontology is the one that deals with beings that lived on the surface of our planet before the historical period. From Herodotus to Darwin, from curiosity cabinets to natural history museums and modern scientific techniques, our talk will help us to decipher the gradual emergence of this science, its immense cultural impact and, of course, its importance in understanding today's biomass and its fragile balance. We will explore the depths of time as we explore the Oise and its surroundings through stratigraphy and the fossils it contains. Finally, we'll look at environments and geography that are very different from those we know today. It's a disorientating and disconcerting journey through time, taking you back several hundred million years.
