Abstract: Let $f(x)$ be a square free quartic polynomial defined over a quadratic field $K$ such that its leading coefficient is a square. If the continued fraction expansion of $displaystylesqrtf(x)$ is periodic, then its period $n$ lies in the set [{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,22,26,30,34}.] We write explicitly all such polynomials for which the period $n$ occurs over $K$ but not over $Q$ and $displaystylenotin13,15,17$. Moreover we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such continued fraction expansions with period $13,15$ or $17$ over $K$.
