Abstract
The lower part of the ''Dolomie de Deglene'' (Rhar Roubane Mountains, Western Algeria) has been dated from the Middle Aalenian by the discov ery of a terebratulid fauna referred to the genus Stroudithyris. This new datum allows a better correlation between this shallow water facie s (like the ''Dalle des Hauts-Plateaux'' in Morocco) and the open-sea sediments deposited eastward and northward (ammonite bearing lenticula r micrites and Zoophycos limestones).
