Les Monts de Baileux section: detailed sedimentology and magnetic susceptibility of Hanonet, Trois-Fontaines and Terres d'Haurs Formations (Eifelian/Givetian boundary and Lower Givetian, SW Belgium)

This work details for the first time the sedimentology of Les Monts de Baileux section. This section, located in a quarry between Chimay and Couvin, exposes a remarkable succession of strata from the top of the Jemelle Formation to the base of the Mont d’Haurs Formation. It therefore offers the opportunity to investigate the entire Hanonet, Trois-Fontaines and Terres d’Haurs formations, biostratigraphically from Polygnathus ensensis to P. timorensis conodont zones. This large lithostratigraphic thickness of clayley and argillaceous, and also pure limestones encompasses the Eifelian/Givetian bo... Mehr ...
