Freshwater amphibians and squamates from Villeveyrac (lower Campanian; Hérault, France): palaeodiversity, palaeoenvironment and implications for the Late Cretaceous palaeobiogeography of the European herpetofauna

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Potentialités écologiques des carrières de quartzite après exploitation : l'exemple de la carrière de Cheffois (Vendée, France)

open access: yesPhysio-Géo, 2011
In abandoned quarries of massive rocks, the aridity and oligotrophic character of soils, combined with the presence of rock walls and water bodies in the deeper excavations, are favourable to the expression of a renewed, original biodiversity.

Caenogastropods and heterobranch gastropods from the Hettangian deposits of Luxembourg: palaeobiogeography and Early Jurassic faunal recovery in the western Tethys

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract We describe the Hettangian Caenogastropoda and Heterobranchia of the Luxembourg Sandstone Formation, a wedge of clastic sediments deposited along the eastern margin of Paris Basin during the Early Jurassic. Five new genera and 11 new species are erected: Bourguetia bipartita sp. nov., Globularia delsatei sp. nov., Oonia feidtorum sp.

An Atypical Silurian Myodocope Ostracod from the Armorican Massif, France [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2012
A new myodocope ostracod Sineruga insolita gen. et sp. nov. is herein described from the Armorican Massif (France). Sineruga resembles Silurian myodocopes (i.e., bolbozoids and cypridinids) in having anterior features (thinner carapace) possibly related to vision.

Cooling and Exhumation History of the Paris Basin Southeastern Margin Revealed by Δ47 /U–Pb Carbonate Thermochronology

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 421-430, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study applies Δ₄₇/U–Pb thermochronology to the Middle Jurassic carbonates exposed in the southeastern margin of the Paris Basin. By integrating clumped isotope analyses and U–Pb dating of diagenetic carbonates, we reconstruct the thermal and exhumation history of the sedimentary succession.

The First Three‐Dimensional Electrical Resistivity Model of the Lithosphere Beneath Britain

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Magnetotelluric data provide unique information to study the electrical resistivity of the Earth's lithosphere, enabling studies of geological structures, tectonic processes, resource exploration, and hazard monitoring. Here, we present the first fully three‐dimensional (3D) electrical resistivity model of the deep lithosphere beneath Britain (

Two metamorphic cycles recorded by monazite in eclogite-facies gneisses (Southern Armorican Massif, France): A Cambro-Ordovician continental crust involved in eo-Variscan subduction

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
We present U-Th/Pb data obtained for xenotime and monazite from the polycyclic eclogite-facies para- and ortho-gneisses of the Les Essarts Unit (Vendée, southern Armorican Massif, France), which have recorded an HT-LP cycle ending with a first ...
