These sands keep a paleontological treasure. Fossils of an extinct seabird: the jable’s shearwater. In addition to his bones, his eggs also appear, some miraculously whole. They are dated between 25,000 and 100,000 years.
The jable’s shearwater was a medium-sized bird, intermediate in size between the Cory’s shearwater and the little shearwater. Of digging habits, it opened its holes in the sand, where it deposited a single egg. It was a colonial bird that bred in the jable by the thousands. When the hura sank due to rain or accidents, it trapped adults, chickens and eggs, which are the ones that now appear fossilized on the surface when the wind finally opens their graves.
