Abstract

ABSTRACT New Middle Miocene rodent faunas from Languedoc-Roussillon (southern France); implication for biostratigraphic correlations. The fossil mammal bearing localities Blanquatere 3 (Roussillon; filling of a fissure in a karst) and Puisserguier (Languedoc; brackish to lake deposit) have provided Middle Miocene rodents that first allow correlating these sites to Blanquatere 1 (Roussillon; older) and La Grenatiere (Languedoc; younger). Second, the occurrence of the genus Cricetodon in these newly discovered localities similarly allow revisiting the correlations already proposed with the well-known localities from the Lyon area, Vieux-Collonges and La Grive. Blanquatere 3 and Puisserguier are older than La Grive, and Blanquatere 3 is slightly older than Vieux-Collonges. The fossil bearing levels of Puisserguier is interstratified in a mainly marine succession ending with brackish to lake deposits, which includes the level of La Grenatiere. The onshore (Western Beziers area) and offshore (Tramontane 1 dril...
