Abstract
Five third order sequences sensu Vail have been identified in the Terr es Noires Formation (black shales) dated Upper Callovian to Middle Oxf ordian of the Dauphine Southeastern France basin. Relative sea level c hanges can be inferred from the vertical evolution of lithology, the a mmonite content and paleogeography. The variations in accommodation sp ace are the result of combined effects of eustacy and extensional tect onics linked to the opening of the Tethys. This has occurred in the Da uphine basin as well as the whole of the Northwestern European craton.
