Abstract

The strong involvement of microfossils in applied research, especially in hydrocarbon exploration, has led micropaleontology to a significant progress from the beginning of 1920; micropaleontologists have since rapidly acquired their own publication vehicles or have published in broad Earth Science journals. These are the main reasons invoked to explain why a low number of micropaleontology articles are found nowadays in the Annales de Paléontologie. Only 19 micropaleontology papers were published between 1906 and 2006, though some of them are relevant; they will be analysed herein. Four papers make up the foundations and the references to the acritarch, dinoflagellate and coccolithophorid systematic. One article, dealing with ecologic and paleoecologic implications, questions the use of the rose Bengal staining technique described by Walton in determining living specimens of foraminifers.
