Glossary entry (derived from question below)
English term or phrase:
bone-bearing lenses
French translation:
lentille fossilifère
English term
France
bone-bearing lenses
Can someone help me with this?
The ful sentence is:
The fossil deposit consists of a series of bone-bearing lenses on a single horizon.
It's about a fossil site in Australia. I can't figure out how I can translate "bone-bearing lenses on a single horizon".

Thank you!

| Merci Davdid. Ça m'aide beaucoup. Pour "fossil deposit", je pensais mettre "dépôts fossilifères". Vous m'avez bien aidée |
