Abondance d'Aspidiscus cristatus (Lamarck, 1801) dans la Formation des Marnes de Smail de la région de Batna (NE d'Algérie) : Une espèce caractéristique pour le Cénomanien moyen

Abstract: Une espèce caractéristique pour le Cénomanien moyen Sihem SALMI-LAOUAR 1 Bruno FERRÉ 2 Riadh AOUISSI 3 Résumé : Les marnes cénomaniennes de la région de Batna (nord-est de l'Algérie) montrent plusieurs niveaux fossilifères, à faune très diversifiée. Parmi les fossiles présents en abondance et en bon état de conservation figure Aspidiscus cristatus (LAMARCK, 1801). Cette espèce de polypier a été rattachée à la famille des Latomeandridae ALLOITEAU, 1952, en raison de la présence de pennulae et de perforations co… Show more

“…This unit is also rich in corals assigned to Aspidiscus cristatus (Lamarck, 1801), giving it a middle to late Cenomanian age (Pomel, 1872;Gill & Lafuste, 1987;Gill & Chikhi, 1991;Pandey et al, 2011). However, according to Aouissi et al (2018) and Salmi-Laouar et al (2019), the age of this unit is only middle Cenomanian. This unit is topped by an erosional surface and is composed of indurated bioclastic limestones containing fragments of bivalves and Planolites, which are well-observed.…”

“…According to Aouissi et al (2018Aouissi et al ( , 2020 and Salmi-Laouar et al (2019), in the Batna province, most of the specimens of Aspidiscus cristatus were collected in the middle part of the "Marnes de Smail" Formation. The stratigraphic distribution of this scleractinian established by these authors extends the Cunningtoniceras inerme Zone from the base of the middle Cenomanian, to the Acanthoceras jukesbrownei and the Acanthoceras amphibolum Zone, at the top of the middle Cenomanian (Table 2).…”

“…During the middle Cenomanian, along with the abundance of Aspidiscus cristatus, proliferates a benthic association composed of Rhynchostreon suborbiculatum and Neithea that confirms a shallow marine environment (Andrade et al, 2004), under low energy currents (Salmi-Laouar et al, 2019). Slow bottom currents would have been responsible for the suspension-and-nutrient-rich waters required by most bivalves (Berndt, 2002;Fürsich & Thomsen, 2005;Ayoub-Hannaa el al., 2014).…”

“…Thus, considering this environment and geological context, middle Cenomanian assemblages would correspond to the upper part of the infralittoral zone, with quite warm waters, low energy, and quite high sedimentation rate. The frequent bioerosive traces both on the external and internal side of the index coral species support a more agitated environment with quite strong energy sufficient to dislodge colonies (Pandey et al, 2011;Salmi-Laouar et al, 2019).…”
