The Gargasian (Middle Aptian) substage in the Aptian historical stratotypes (SE France): General introduction [PDF]
In 1998 a double volume of the Journal "Géologie Méditerranéenne" (t. XXV, N° 3-4) was devoted to a detailed inventory of the Lower Aptian (Bedoulian substage) historical stratotype located in the vicinity of Cassis and Roquefort-La Bédoule, near ...

The Gargasian (Middle Aptian) strata from Cassis-La Bédoule (Lower Aptian historical stratotype, SE France): planktonic and benthic foraminiferal assemblages and biostratigraphy [PDF]
This paper presents a thorough analysis of foraminiferal assemblages ranging in age from the Bedoulian-Gargasian transition to the middle Gargasian in the Cassis-La Bédoule area (SE France), the historical stratotype of the Lower Aptian substage.

The Aptian Marls of La Tuilière (Luberon UNESCO Global Geopark, France), a Historical Stratotype [PDF]
The historical stratotype of the Aptian Stage (Cretaceous) was defined in the Luberon UNESCO global geopark in the middle of the 19th century. Due to excessive urbanization launched in the early sixties, the best outcropping conditions are those found at

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A tectonically-controlled forced regression occurred on the western margin of the French subalpine basin around the Aptian–Albian boundary. It nearly emptied the western part of the Vocontian Trough during the early and middle Albian.
