Etude de populations de Glycymeris (Bivalvia, Glycymerididae) du Miocène d'Aquitaine, Sud-Ouest de la France Studyof Glycymeris (Bivalvia, G1ycymerididae) populations from the Aquitaine Miocene, SW France

Abundant crops of Glycymeris have been made in the neritic bioclastic deposits of the Aquitaine Basin. After an outline about the Chattian taxa, the 5 Lower Miocene lineages are presented; G. cor is plainly predominant. Then, the Middle Miocene faunas are also detaiIed, G. inflatus and G. bimaculatus being the most frequent taxa. A test of biometrical analysis about the G. cor species is presented.
