Introduction
I currently work as manager of the Storengy Geological Core Storage.
I do research in micropaleontology (Jurassic foraminifera and other microfauna), paleoenvironments and geology.
My most recent external publication : "Foraminifères et reconstitution des variations bathymétriques: exemple du Kimméridgien de la région du Havre (Seine-Maritime, Normandie, France)".
My current project : study of the spatial Bathonian foraminifera repartition to access finest paleoenvironments variations.

The cliffs, to the north of Le Havre (Seine-Maritime, Normandy, west of France), dated of Kimmeridgian, have delivered 162 species of foraminifera, fifty morphotypes of nannofossils and many other microorganisms and various remains. The quantitative study of foraminiferal associations, mainly, but also of nannofossils associations allows to propose...
Chlorite is recognized worldwide as a key mineral that inhibits the development of quartz cement in deeply buried sandstone reservoirs. Iron-rich chlorite is mainly formed by the transformation of a precursor clay mineral; however, few studies have focused on the early stages before the crystallization of chlorite. This study analyzed shallowly bur...
The microfossils from the marly levels of the Hollandi subzone (Discus zone, Upper Bathonian) of Luc-sur-Mer and Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer (Calvados) are identified. Quantitative variations are established for each granulometric fraction, (foraminifera) and total assemblages are indicated (foraminifera, ostracoda, bryozoa). For the foraminifers, ecologic...

The distribution of Globuligerina oxfordiana from the marls of early Oxfordian age is specified in the Villers-sur-Mer cliffs. This planktonic foraminifer is always scarce (not more than 7% of the benthic assemblage) and accompanied by numerous benthic species. Calcareous nannofossils and small planktonic bivalves are also common. The paleoecology...
