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

A multidisciplinary study of some extensively cored boreholes with the new 1/25.000 geological mapping of Wallonia led 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 new lithostratigraphic units is interpreted by macroscopic and microscopic sedimentological observations. Detailed palynological and claystratigraphical analyses were als o performed, providing additional stratigraphical, palaeoecological an dsedime... Mehr ...
