The study of a new section around Caylus (Tarn-et-Garonne) allows new biostratigraphic and sedimentological observations on the terms of passage from the Upper Pliensbachian (Formation of the Barre à Pecten) to the Toarcien (Formation de Penne) of the Quercy (France). The Schistes cartons member (Lower Toarcian, Serpentinum zone) is particularly remarkable.Four taxa of brachiopods and eleven taxa of Toarcian ammonites from the Tenuicostatum, Serpentinum and Bifrons zones, sub-zone to Sublevisoni are the subject of the following paleontological study.
