Abstract |
The main publications on Cretaceous Bivalves of Alcide d'Orbigny are the Paleontologie francaise - Terrains cretaces. III. Lamellibranches (1843-1847) and the Prodrome de stratigraphie universelle, vol. II (1850). The importance and influence of these publications for today's taxonomic palaeontology are discussed. It is shown that the Paliontologie francaise continues to be one of the major 19th-century papers but that the Prodrome is only rarely referred to. |
