Coperchio di chiusura di Saint Barbe n. 3

Description

Era qui in questa miniera, ora situata su un dominio privato sotto una lastra di cemento, che nel 1878 si scese per 322 metri. Qui Gustave Fagès avrebbe trovato un cran e scoperto "tronchi d'albero con oro". Tuttavia, si trattava di ossa di iguanodon impregnate di pirite. Questi iguanodoni erano e sono di inestimabile valore. Sapevi anche che durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale nel 1916 i tedeschi ricominciarono a scavare per trovare iguanodoni a Bernissart. I belgi però si opposero: sabotavano le pompe e causavano crolli intenzionali. Dopo due anni di perforazione i tedeschi si trovavano a 20 metri dal cran, ma la fine della guerra li fece ritirare. Per vendetta fecero poi allagare la miniera. Non fu mai più riaperta.
