Abstract
Let be a square free quartic polynomial defined over a quadratic field such that its leading coefficient is a square. If the continued fraction expansion of is periodic, then its period lies in the set We write explicitly all such polynomials for which the period occurs over but not over and . Moreover we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such continued fraction expansions with period or over .
