Geneviève Termier was a French paleontologist and evolutionist. She was a research director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. In 1942 she went to Morocco where she met her husband Henri. Their son Michel was born three years later. She specialized in the study of gastropods. She also studied the South-East Asian Permian brachiopods. Together with her husband Henri Termier, she is considered one of the greatest French paleontologist of the 20th century. Geneviève Termier suffered from a long and painful illness, and on 27 May 2005 in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, near Paris, she died at 88 years of age.

Atlantitrygon is an extinct genus of marine river stingray from the Paleogene period. It currently contains two species known only from isolated teeth. A. sudrei is known from the Thanetian-aged Gorgol formation of Niger and deposits of similar age in Togo and Senegal. It was originally ascribed to the genus Dasyatis. A. senegalensis is found in the lower Lutetian Matam formation of Senegal and possibly the Ypresian sites of Tamaguilet, Mali and Ouled Abdoun, Morocco. It appears to be part of the River ray family and has been tentatively placed alongside the two extant marine species in the subfamily Styracurinae. However, this placement is uncertain.
