102 THE AGE OF MAMMALS /. BASAL EOCENE, FIRST FAUNAE PHASE —MAMMALS SOLELY OF THE ARCHAIC TYPE COMMON TO THE NEW AND OLD WORLDS Animals of the First Faunal Zone. — The Basal Eocene life zones in both countries are sharply characterized by the extinction or absence of the giant reptiles, by the survival from the Cretaceous of the large swamp
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 26. — Basal and Lower Eocene. Thanetian, Cernaysian, Lower Landenian. FRANCE. — Glauconio de 1 la Fere (Aisne), fluvio-marine deposits (6 meters). Gravier marin de 2 Cerny, near Reims (.5-7 meters). Sables et calcaires de 3 Rilly, near Reims, lacustrine. Sables de 4 Châlons-sur-Marne (Marne). Sparnacian, Upper Landenian. BELGIUM. — 5 Erque.linnes, near French boundary. FRANCE. — Argile plastique et lignites de 6 Soissons (Aisne), 7 Guny, 8 Muirancourt, near Paris. 9 Saron, near Ste. Maxence. 10 Laon (Aisne). 11 Upper Cernay, near Reims. Conglomerat de 12 Meudon, near Paris. Lignites de 13 Vaugirard, near Paris. Travertin de 14 Sezanne (Marne), a calcareous tuff rich in plants. ENGLAND. — Woolwich and Reading Beds, " plastic clay," of 15 Duhcich, 16 Croyden, near London, marine and cstuarine (4-28 meters) sands and clays. Lower Ypresian. ENGLAND. — 17 London clay of 18 Heme Bay (Kent), 19 Kyson, north of Har- wich, 20 Harwich (Essex), 21 Isle of Sheppey, mouth of the Thames, marine and estuarine deposit (over 500 feet maximum). FRANCE.—^ Marine deposits of 22 Pourcy, near Reims. Upper Ypresian. FRANCE. — In Marne, near Epernay : 22 Chavot, sables a teredines d'Ay, marine (3-4 meters), marnes de Cuis. Correlation of Deperet. or fiuviatile lizard Champsosaurus (of the order Choristodera or long- snouted Rhynchocephalia). In the Rocky Mountain region this animal is also found in the underlying Laramie formation. Its survival both in the Rocky Mountain region, in Belgium, and in France is one of the most distinctive features of the Basal Eocene, because it is apparently on the verge of extinction and does not reappear in higher levels.
