Abstract
The Upper Albian series of the South-East Basin in France is certainly the most continuous and the thick est series of the Upper Albian age in the whole of western Europe. Numerous ammonites, characteristic of the dispar zone, are found in the subticinensis zone. This fact profou ndly modifies the stratgraphic and regional sedimentological framework as well as comparative biozonation between planktonic foraminifera an d ammonites, which was initially established in this basin (Moullade, 1966; Sigal, 1977).
