Saint-Jean de Livet. France (cast-iron)
In 1968, French speleologists Y. Druet and H. Salfati reported finding metal nodules entombed in an chalk bed in a quarry at Saint-Jean de Livet.
The nodules are reddish brown and hollowed at the ends, measuring from 3 to 9 centimeters long and 1 to four centimeters wide.
Study showed the nodules were too uniformly shaped to be of natural origin.
Chemical analysis showed a carbon content consistent with modern forging and casting techniques.
These man-made objects dated toward the end of the Cretaceous, over 120 million years (?!?)
