Fragment of
a fossilized caprid frontal horn
Inv. n°2015.0.329
A hundred years ago
Victor Aubert (1874-1938), in his many writings, manuscripts, or published in various journals, testified to his discoveries in Maule and in the region.
This is the case of this fossilized caprid horn found in 1925 at the place called "le Radet" in Maule.
It was found 6 meters deep in the quaternary alluvium of the Mauldre, in a sandpit belonging to Mr. Masson.
The sandpit was filled in 1937, as Victor Aubert indicates.
In 1925, he also discovered the famous hippopotamus canid, exhibited at the museum.sters of Vincent de Paul, who settled on rue Saint-Vincent.
