Mare aux Songes

Mauritius

The Mare aux Songes (English: "pond of taro"; French: [ma.‿o s]) swamp is a lagerstätte located close to the sea in south eastern Mauritius. Many subfossils of recently extinct animals have accumulated in the swamp, which was once a lake, and some of the first subfossil remains of dodos were found there.
