contents The French ambers: a general conspectus and the Lowermost Eocene amber deposit of Le Quesnoy in the Paris Basin G. de Ploëg J. Millet J. J. Menier A. Waller A. Nel Ciencias de la Tierra Amber France Mesozoic Cenozoic Palaeofauna Aconspectus of the current knowledge on the French ambers is proposed. France is a very rich country with morethan seventy localities known after the ‘old’ literature, especially from the Jurassic, Cretaceous and Paleogene.A more detailed new insectiferous amber locality is given for the amber from Le Quesnoy (Lowermost Eocene,Oise department, Paris Basin, France). After the preliminary survey of the flora and the vertebrate and arthropodfaunas, we propose a reconstruction of a fluvio-lacustrine palaeoenvironment with a forest, under a warm andwet seasonal climate. This site is outstanding because of the richness, diversity and the state of preservation ofthe fossils. The present discovery opens a remarkable window on the terrestrial life during the earliest Eocene.It shows that future researches on the ‘old’ French amber localities shall be crucial for our knowledge on the evolutionand diversity of the insects during the Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic. 2004 artículo científico 1695-6133 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50500102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=505 Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal (España) Num.1 Vol.2
