Jean-Pierre Bellier, Robert Mathieu&Bruno Granier.- Short Treatise on Foraminiferology (Essential on modern and fossil Foraminifera).- After some forty years in the academic world and before abandoning a position as an employee of the State educational system to enter the new world of "pensioners", it seemed worthwhile to the first author (J.-P.B.) of this brief discussion to compile a short document that presents a synopsis of the knowledge acquired, taught and put to use for more than four decades. This fascicle reviews only the foraminifers, which, along with calcareous nannofossils, are the fundamental tools of modern biostratigraphy, used for worldwide oceanographic studies and for the correlation of oil wells. It deals essentially with the small foraminifers, that is those of modest size without a complex internal architecture. These include the planktonic foraminifers of which the rapid evolution and great dispersion permit the establishment of reliable biochronologic scales of reference.
This short course is intended for students preparing for the CAPES (Certificat d'aptitude au professorat de l'enseignement du second degr= Certificate of Aptitude for a Professorship of Instruction in the Second Grade), for students working toward the Aggregation in Natural Sciences in pursuit of a scientific career in the universities or in the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique = National Centre for Scientific Research), and for students who hope to work in the oil industry where a specialization in the field of micropaleontology is considered useful and is still valued. It will also interest amateur naturalists and that portion of the general public attracted by the beauties of the microscopic world, now living, or extinct and represented only by fossils.- SRef-ID: http://overview.sref.org/1634-0744/CG2010_B02.- Handle-ID: http://hdl.handle.net/2042/XXXXX

Bruno R.C. Granier.- Bucurella, a new genus of the Thyrsoporelleae (fossil Dasycladalean algae).- A new genus, Bucurella, is described and figured; it is based on Macroporella espichelensis Deloffre et Ramalho, 1971, a taxon known only from the Late Jurassic. It is characterized by the presence of distinctive whorls, each with three thick and broad (fertile) ramifications. The lateral division formula is 1 F: 3 F: (3x2) F: (3x2x2) F = (1: 3: 6: 12); that is the primary ramification divides into three secondaries which in turn branch dichotomously into tertiaries and again into quaternaries. It and its descendant, Zergabriella, are assigned to the Tribe Thyrsoporelleae.- SRef-ID: http://overview.sref.org/1634-0744/CG2010_A03.- Handle-ID: http://hdl.handle.net/2042/32425

Gilles S. Odin.- Traces de volcanisme explosif dans le Campanien pyrnen aux alentours du stratotype de limite Campanien-MaastrichtienTercis (SO France, N Espagne). Reprage biostratigraphique avec unetude particulire du foraminifre Radotruncana calcarata.- Les traces d'unvnement volcanique explosif onttrecherches dans des affleurements campaniens de facis plate-forme et de facis flysch dans le domaine ouest-pyrnen : Sud-Ouest de la France et Nord de l'Espagne. Le reprage stratigraphique de cetvnement a ncessitunetude micropalontologique pralable qui atproductive dans cinq sections principales illustres ici : Tercis, Peyrata, Rbnacq, Lasseube, Zumaya ainsi que dans trois autres affleurements situs prs d'Orthez, de Pau, et en Navarre espagnole. La dissociation actolytique des carbonates indurs du facis de plate-forme (Tercis, Peyrata, Navarre espagnole) a permis de complter les connaissances antrieures acquises notamment sur les niveaux de marnes du stratotype de la limite Campanien-Maastrichtien de Tercis. Dans ce dernier site, des spcimens dgags de marqueurs biostratigraphiques onttobtenus pour la premire fois. La raretdu foraminifre Radotruncana calcarata n'est pas proprel'espce maisla raretgnrale des tests de foraminifres planctoniques dans le facis de plate-forme du Bassin Aturien. La varitdes microproblematica est confirme avec l'illustration de 2 nouvelles formes, l'une informellement nomme "microsphre ananas" et l'autre Velafer ovatus nov. gen., nov. sp. ;Tercis, prs de 70 espces sont actuellement distingues dont 1 seuletait dcrite avant nos travaux. Ces microproblematica permettent un reprage temporel relatif aussi prcis que celui drivdes foraminifres planctoniques. Les traces majeures d'unpisode volcaniqueruptif connuesTercis sont situes dans la zone d'existence de Rd. calcarata, immdiatement au-dessus de la disparition de Tubellus hunzikeri, de l'apparition de Lucernellus aubouini et de celle de Aquilegiella varia, trois microproblematica de distribution restreinte dans la srie de Tercis. Les mmes observations onttfaites dans la section voisine de Peyrata. Les sections du facis flysch ont livrsans difficultle foraminifre Rd. calcarata mais les microproblematica sont absents. La dure d'existence du marqueur Rd. calcarata estvalue0,800,05 Ma.
Toutes les sections atteignant la limite Campanien-Maastrichtien ont livrdes Contusotruncana (foraminifre) dont les caractristiques sont celles des spcimens rapprochs de ou attribusC. contusaTercis ; ce taxon, diffrent, de la forme-type, est illustrde nouveau afin de permettre des comparaisons en milieu ocanique. Ces nouvellestudes renforcent le bien-fonddu choix de la Grande CarrireTercis comme stratotype de limite en prcisant la chronologie desvnements campaniens et son potentiel de corrlation rgional et mondial grcela diversitde son enregistrement biologique qui tmoigne de l'ampleur de la biodiversitau Crtacsuprieur.
La caractrisation de l'pisode volcanique atcomplteTercis par la dcouverte de sphrules siliceuses lgrement calco-sodiques, avec des traces de magnsium, aluminium et potassium. Dans le stratotype et les sections voisines, l'activitvolcanique atdcele, en outre, par la prsence de kaolinite dans la fraction argileuse et de cristaux de minraux pyroclastiques : sanidine, biotite, zircon, apatite. Dans les niveaux contemporains du bassin du flysch, l'pisode volcanique est plus difficilement caractrispar la prsence de paillettes de biotite de facis pyroclastique et de cristaux de zircon automorphes ainsi que, plus rarement, d'apatite automorphe. L'interprtation de ces observations nouvelles pose problme : soit les Pyrnes onttle sige d'une activitvolcanique explosive semblablecelle provoque par un phnomne de subduction, soit leslments pyroclastiques onttapports par voie arienne d'une distance de plusieurs milliers de km.- SRef-ID: http://overview.sref.org/1634-0744/CG2010_A02.- Handle-ID: http://hdl.handle.net/2042/32424
