Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The Anglo-Belgo-Paris Basin, historical cradle of the Paleogene stratigraphy since the 19th century, is known by the presence of very specific so-called “Sparnacian” deposits (very diverse and laterally highly variable, predominantly lagoonal to terrestrial facies), which encompass the short stratigraphic interval of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). Due to the insufficient nature of the paleontological record, the “Sparnacian” succession of the Paris and Dieppe-Hampshire basins still needs to be robustly chronostratigraphically correlated with other Paleogene records worldwide. In order to refine the stratigraphy of the Thanetian-Lower Ypresian succession in northern France a number of cores and outcrop sections have been investigated palynologically. As a result, an updated version of the dinoflagellate cyst zonation for the Paris and Dieppe basins is proposed and contains six new or revised biozones for this stratigraphical interval: Alisocysta margarita, Apectodinium hyperacanthum, Apectodinium-acme, Biconidinium longissimum-acme, Dracodinium astra, and Axiodinium lunare/Stenodinium meckelfeldense. Based on combined bio-, litho- and chemostratigraphic data, it appears that the dinocyst assemblages, corresponding to the PETM event interval (“Sparnacian” deposits, Soissonnais and upper Mortemer formations), are characterized by an acme of Apectodinium spp. (70–98%) in both basins, sometimes alternating with an acme of a few gonyaulacoid groups in the Dieppe Basin. Dinocyst assemblages from the PETM interval contain a significant number of atypical, longer specimens of Apectodinium parvum, which could represent an ecological onshore substitute for Axiodinium augustum in the Paris and Dieppe-Hampshire basins. The establishment of a new Biconidinium longissimum-acme Zone suggests that the stratigraphic hiatus previously inferred within this sequence in the Paris Basin does not exist. |
