L'apport des charophytes á la stratigraphie des formations continentales paléogènes de l'Algérie

Taxonomy and palaeobiogeography of charophytes from the Upper Eocene-Lower Oligocene of the Eastern Ebro Basin (Catalonia, NE Spain)

“…Nodosochara aff. jorbae has also been reported by Mebrouk et al (1997) in the Middle Eocene from the north-eastern Sahara (Algeria).…”

“…from sample CC-1 is similar in from the north-western part of the Transylvanian Basin (Romania). is species has also been found in the central part of the Sahara, Algeria (Mebrouk et al 1997).…”

Lemuriform Origins as Viewed from the Fossil Record

“…Despite some attempts to equate temporally the Algerian and Tunisian localities to the lower Fayum faunas [Rasmussen et al, 1992;, faunal comparisons and other palaeontological and geological evidence confirm that the Maghreb localities are Late-Early to Early-Middle Eocene, i.e. 52-46 million years [Godinot, 1994;Mebrouk et al, 1997;Hartenberger et al, 1997;Mahboubi et al, 2002], older even than the new BQ-2 locality, which Seiffert et al [2005] estimate at approx. 37 million years.…”

Latest Early-early Middle Eocene deposits of Algeria (Glib Zegdou, HGL50), yield the richest and most diverse fauna of amphibians and squamate reptiles from the Palaeogene of Africa

“…It should be noted, however, that another diverse fauna is known but still unpublished; it comes from Chambi, Tunisia, that is coeval with HGL50; a provisional list of the amphibians from Chambi was included in Gardner & Rage (2016). Some Eocene localities yielded small faunas (at most four taxa): N'Tagourt 2, Morocco, Ypresian (Augé & Rage, 2006); El Kohol, Algeria, Ypresian (Mahboubi et al, 1986;Mebrouk et al, 1997); Dur At Talah, Libya, ?Bartonian (Hoffstetter 1961, who reported the locality as Gebel Coquin); and Silica South, Namibia, ?Bartonian (but see below) (Rage et al, 2013). In addition, a few other fossiliferous sites produced one taxon each, either an amphibian or a squamate: Ouled Abdoun Basin (in fact, several loci), Morocco, Ypresian (Houssaye et al, 2013); Lândana, Sassa Zau and Ambrizete, Angola, Middle Eocene (Antunes 1964); Tamaguilelt, Mali, Lutetian (Rage 1983); Mahenge, Tanzania, Lutetian (Báez & Harrison 2005); Black Crow, Namibia, Lutetian (Rage et al, 2013); and Bir el Ater, Algeria, Bartonian-Priabonian (Coiffait et al, 1984).…”
