Abstract
    The authors recount the original definitions and the evolution of the conceptions of the Giuet Limestone and the Givetian at Givet. In order to end the existing confusion they define a Givet Group composed of three formations, which are, from base to top : Trois-Fontaines, Mont d'Haurs and Fromelennes Formations.Each of these formations corresponds to a third order positive-negative bisequence (marine facies - sabkha - marine facies), while second order sequences permit the recognition of thirty-two major phases which indicate the following environments : detrital and non-turbulent in the euphotic zone, reef, lagoon and of sabkha; minor first order sequences are recognized in those major phases.As for the Givetian, the authors make suggestions to be eventually examined by international bodies
