Abstract
The Upper Albian grey marls of Sainte-Anne-d'Évenos area (Var, SE of France) have yielded several fragments of fossil woods associated with marine deposits where pelagic organisms are in abundance. Two homoxyleous structures of Coniferales Cheirolepidiaceae have been identified: Brachyoxylon brachyphylloides (Torrey) Kräusel and Brachyoxylon sp. One of these structures is identical with Lower Cretaceous specimens discovered in Eastern USA, and in the future site of Tethys-Benue sound. Climatic and ecological conditions have been inferred from certain anatomical features (growth-rings) as well as from palynological and sedimentological analysis. A palaeogeographic reconstruction of Basse-Provence during Late Albian is suggested.
