Florence LOUIS (asker): 12:25pm May 17, 2004: contexte - Premier épisode marin
Il y a 150 millions d’années, s’étend une mer profonde dans laquelle s’accumulent les restes des organismes vivants qui y vivent, en même temps que se déposent des sédiments.
Épisode continental
Il y a environ 100 millions d’années la mer se retire vers le nord. La Provence subit une phase d’émersion liée au déplacement du bloc ibérique dans cette même direction.

continental. A term commonly used in geology in the sense of 'land'; e.g. 'continental conditions' implies conditions on a land mass as opposed to the oceans.
[Penguin Dict. of Geology]
Also appears to be used for periods when the land in question WAS land rather than sea floor.

GLACIAL DRIFT OF IRELAND.
Marine drift containing the last-mentioned Nucula and other glacial shells reaches a height of from 1000 to 1200 feet in the county of Wexford, south of Dublin. More than eighty species have already been obtained from this formation, of which two, Conovulus pyramidalis and Nassa monensis, are not known as living; while Turritella incrassata and Cypraea lucida no longer inhabit the British seas, but occur in the Mediterranean. The great elevation of these shells, and the still greater height to which the surface of the rocks in the mountainous regions of Ireland have been smoothed and striated by ice-action, has led geologists to the opinion that that island, like the greater part of England and Scotland, after having been united with the continent of Europe, from whence it received the plants and animals now inhabiting it, was in great part submerged.
The conversion of this and other parts of Great Britain into an archipelago was followed by a re-elevation of land and a second ***continental period***. After all these changes the final separation of Ireland from Great Britain took place, and this event has been supposed to have preceded the opening of the straits of Dover. (See Antiquity of Man chapter 14.)

Personally I think you could even say "continental episode" if the suggestion is that it was for a relatively short (geologically speaking) time between two marine transgressions, but there are no Googles for it other than on non-English sites. |
