Abstract Concludes that the pisolitic limestone overlying Campanian and in places Maestrichtian (Cretaceous) formations of the Paris basin, France, was formed during at least two stages and should be qualified as a Dano-Montian formation. Transgression of the sea was both from the northeast and, in the later stage, from the west, which accounts for the mixed fauna.
