Peregrinella -lenses within Lower Cretaceous deep-sea deposits have puzzled geologists and palaeontologists since their first observation in the 19th century, until the discovery of present-day cold seeps allowed their attribution to the circulation of seep type fluids. The Vocontian Basin, a sub-basin of the Tethys Ocean, is an important area where several sites bearing Peregrinella -lenses have been reported and studied by generations of scientists. Here we investigate material from the site o
