New lithostratigraphical, sedimentological, mineralogical and palaeontological data on the Mesozoic of Belgian Lorraine: a progress report

peer reviewed ; A multidisciplinary study of some extensively cored boreholes together with the new 1/25.000 geological mapping of wallonia lead us to propose a new lithostratigraphic canvas for belgian lorraine. This area is located on the n-e border of the paris basin, south of the ardennes; the studied stratigraphic interval covers the keuper to the toarcian. Each of the newly defined units is sedimentologicaly interpreted on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic observations. Detailed palynological and claystratigraphical analyses have been performed, providingadditional stratigraphical... Mehr ...
