A palynological study (dinoflagellates and pollen grains) was carried out in two bore holes through the Eocene of the Severnaya Sosva River Basin in the north of We stern Siberia. Five zones were identified: two (Dracodinium varielongitudum and Charlesdowniea coleothrypta zones) in the Ypresian, and three (Rhombodinium draco, Rhombodinium porosum and Kisselevia ornata zones) in the Bartonian. The absence of the dinoflagellate zones characterizing the Lutetian in other regions suggests an interruption in marine sedimentation in Northwestern Siberia during the begin ning of the Middle Eocene. A palaeoecological interpretation of some dinoflagellate groups was proposed. It shows a shal low marine environment with a reduced salinity, followed by a marine basin regression during the Bartonian. For the first time the ecology of the acritarch genera Paucilobimorpha and Tritonites was interpreted. Resume. Une etude palynologique (Dinoflagelles et pollens) a ete realisee sur deux sondages tra versant l'Eocene dans Ie bassin de la riviere Severnaya Sosva dans Ie nord de la Siberie occidentale. Nous avons pu reconnaitre 5 zones de Dinoflagelles : deux (a Dracodinium varielongitudum et a Charlesdowniea coleothrypta) dans I'Ypresien et trois (zones a Rhombodinium draco, Rhombodi niumporosum et a Kisselevia ornata) dans Ie Bartonien. L' absence des zones de Dinoflagelles qui caracterisent Ie Lutetien dans les autres regions, suppose une interruption dans la sedimentation marine au nord de la Siberie occidentale au debut de l'Eocene moyen. L'interpretation paleoecologique de certains groupes de Dinoflagelles est mise en evidence. Elle montre un milieu marin peu profond avec une salinite reduite et une regression du bassin marin au cours du Bartonien. L'ecologie des genres Paucilobimorpha and Tritonites est interpretee pour la pre miere fois.
