They contain a large variety of microfacies as well as microfossil assemblages partly encompassing the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary. This study presents a detailed account of uppermost Jurassic-lowermost Cretaceous limestones from the Lapos Valley (Hăghimas Mountains) containing two distinct successions separated by a fault. The first succession contains platform margin and inner platform deposits (subtidal, intertidal) whereas the second one consists of inner platform deposits (shallow-subtidal to peritidal carbonates). The Upper Jurassic Stramberk-type facies is overlain by lower Berriasian regressive peritidal limestones. The upper Berriasian-? lower Valanginian consists mainly of inner platform deposits. They contain alternating, high and low-energy carbonates with rare calpionellids and calcispheres. The age assignment is based on a rich and diverse micropaleontological assemblage containing similar biota reported from other regions of the Tethysian Realm.","PeriodicalId":55273,"journal":{"name":"Carnets De Geologie","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83911395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the vicinity of the village of Les Ferres (Department of the Alpes-Maritimes, SE France), a relatively thick sedimentary succession with well-preserved ammonites, representative of the zones mentioned above, is found in a small basin called the \"Les Ferres Aptian Basin\" (LFAB). The 1262 ammonites collected or studied in situ are dated from the Deshayesites forbesi Zone through the top of the Dufrenoyia furcata Zone. This study presents the lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy derived from these ammonites, and the respective range of these taxa. This is an introductory contribution to any future palaeontological study of the lower Aptian ammonites in the Les Ferres area. The lithologic unit overlying the Hauterivian-Aptian limestones is introduced herein as the Les Graous Formation. It is subdivided in three members, from bottom to top: 1) the Combe de Joinet Member, 2) the Pont de la Cerise Member, and 3) the Les Graous Member.

Il s'agit d'alternances argilo-greso-calcaires riches en ammonoides. Des variations laterales de facies et d'epaisseur sont observees dans ces trois bassins. Ces variations sont directement liees aux conditions de leur environnement de depots (hydrodynamisme, physiographie du bassin, arrets sedimentaires). Dans les trois regions etudiees, les milieux de depot des facies griottes correspondent a un environnement de type plateforme (hauts fonds) et bassin sous controle tectono-eustatique. A Ben-Zireg, les facies correspondent a une plateforme. A Marhouma, les facies correspondent d'abord a une rampe distale, puis a un environnement de talus a tablier a facies allodapiques (Famennien II, VI et V) et de bassin (Famennien II et VI). A la fin du Famennien, on assiste a l'installation d'une sedimentation argilo-sableuse de talus (Membre inferieur des Gres de Ouarourout) rapidement relayee par la mise en place d'une plateforme (Membre superieur des Gres de Ouarourout) avant emersion.

La presence d'asphaltites sous forme d'impregnation dans les facies griottes, de galettes centimetriques et de blocs metriques dans les facies posterieurs aux calcaires noduleux, suggere les effets d'une diagenese precoce qui a du egalement jouer un role important par la reduction des sulfates et l'oxydation anaerobique du methane (biogenique et/ou thermique).

They correspond to two discrete species, one of which could be a junior synonym of A. podolica, a synonymy that remains pending because it would require a new sampling at the original locality in western Ukraine some 140 years after the original specimens, now lost, were collected. Regarding their age ascription, they are Tithonian and/or Berriasian in age, i.e., latest Jurassic (sensu Oppel) in age, not earliest Cretaceous. In addition to these two Actinoporellas, a third discrete species, initially described as Clypeina nigra (Conrad & Peybernes), but later referred to the genus Actinoporella, is revised.
