Welcome
to the home page for Cretaceous Tethyan Stratigraphy. This site was
launched at the very end of 1999 and it has been more or less regularly updated since
then. The best way to explore it these days is to take a look at What's
new! and from there to use links to navigate throughout the
available pages.
The
broad objective is to build up a detailed knowledge of the Cretaceous
stratigraphy in the Tethyan realm. The approach will be systematic through
the integration of basin reference sections (stratotypes), basin or platform
control sections, biostratigraphic data, and sequence stratigraphy (plus any
information which should support correlations).
We
hope you will enjoy the visit. Your suggestions and comments are welcome in
our Guestbook [ that you can either Sign!

Launched
the Forum
Nº 4. What is a Forum? Any dictionary defines it is a
« place where important issues can be discussed ». Hence you
will be most welcome to visit that page and debate with us about the
Cenomanian stratigraphy. Based on a paper dealing with Crimean outcrops, this forum was launched by L.
Kopaevich.

Launched
the Forum
Nº 2. This page deals with Aptian
« bentonites », that is altered volcanic ash, and Aptian and
Albian stratigraphic issues. This forum was launched by G.
Friès, with some assistance from Bruno
Ferré.

Amongst
the forthcoming papers, we can mention the one by O.
Parize, N. Fiet, and J.-L.
Latil dealing with the Col de Palluel section (Moydans, near Rosans,
Hautes-Alpes, SE France) which is nearing completion. This section is
certainly the most continuous and thickest series of Upper Albian rocks in
the SE France Basin. Numerous ammonites, characteristic of the Dispar
Zone, were found there about 75 m below their lowest stratigraphic
position acknowledged until now, in the Foraminifer Subticinensis
Zone. This finding modifies considerably the stratigraphic and regional
sedimentological framework as well as comparative biozonations between
planktonic foraminifera and ammonites.

to a new site dealing with Middle
East Stratigraphy. A paper dealing with « A re-appraisal of the Lower
Cretaceous stratigraphy of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates » is
scheduled for the next ADIPEC (Abu Dhabi, October 15-18, 2000).
