Abstract

The Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (France), housed in its palaeontological collections numerous fossil specimens from a French locality of exceptional fossil preservation: the Montceau-les-Mines Lagerstätte (Late Carboniferous). The collection on the Montceau-les-Mines Lagerstätte was given to the Museum of Paris in 1997. Under the MNHN direction, it is managed in the regional museum of Autun. It contains more than 100,000 nodules bearing animal and fossil plants, three-dimensionally preserved in sideritic concretions. These collections are computerized and regularly consulted and studied by scientists from the whole world.
