    Abstract

    The iguanodons of Bernissart (Belgium) have attracted considerable interest since their discovery in the nineteenth century and still remain a reference material. Until now they were relatively poorly dated. This paper deals with the ichthyofauna and the first use of pollen of angiosperms from the dinosaur-bearing sediments to show that they are middle Barremian to earliest Aptian in age.
