As remains of organisms, fossils are indicators of ancient environments, the expression of a community that existed in the geological times and of its relationships with the past environment A marine mollusc that became extinct about three million years ago opens new horizons for reading our present time and, in perspective, possible future events such as important environmental disturbances. Thanks to its colonization of ancient marine environments and mainly thanks to its extinction which made it available to us, it allows the casting of new light on the delicate matter of the climatic mutations at a global scale as well as the possible action the magnetic field upon living organisms. The knowledge of present ecological mechanisms enables us to acquire important information about the past, and vice versa.
