Abstract
In the non-rudist bivalve faunas of Valanginian-Hauterivian age two distinct realms can be distinguished: Boreal and warm-Temperate Tethyan. From the Barremian stage onwards with the spreading of the carbonate platform Tethyan faunas become more marked, with a rudist and a non-rudist facies. In the Albian a strong northern influence is visible in the northern Tethys. The successive Cenomanian transgressions result in a diversification of faunas; in the Tethys this is best seen in the oyster-facies. The Turonian-Santonian interval was relatively brief, and the faunas appear as being more or less homogeneous during that period, but with a differentiation between northern and southern sides of the Tethys. Campanian Tethys faunas are varied, but only occur on the southern side of the Tethys, and are mainly seen in the oyster-facies. In the Upper Campanian-Maastrichtian specific widespread Tethys faunas no longer exist: the Atlantic influence is more important than the Tethys influence.
Résumé
Parmi les faunes de bivalves d’âge Valanginien-Hauterivien on distingue deux unités paléobiogéographiques: le domaine boréal et le domaine témpéré (chaud) / téthysien. A partir du Barrémien la plateforme carbonatée s’étend et les faunes téthysiennes diffèrent d’après qu’elles sont oui ou non associées au faciès à rudistes. Pendant l’Albien une forte influence nordique est présente dans les faunes de la bordure nord de la Téthys. Les transgressions cénomanien-nes successives sont à 1’origine d’une diversification des faunes. Dans le domaine de la Téthys ceci se remarque surtout dans les faciès à ostracées. L’intervalle Turonien-Santonien, relativement court, est caractérisé par des faunes assez homogènes, mais différentes sur les bordures nord et sud de la Téthys. Au Campanien de vraies faunes de bivalves téthysiens ne se retrouvent qu’en Afrique et en Asie (Proche Orient, et son extension vers l’Asie Centrale), et encore une fois surtout en faciès à ostracées. Au Campanien supérieur-Maastrichtien les faunes à large répartition téthysienne ont disparu: l’influence atlantique est devenue plus importante que celle de la Téthys.
