The Hautes Fagnes area (NE Belgium) as a Monadnock during the Late Cretaceous
Morphologically, the Hautes Fagnes area (NE Belgium) is at present a regional high, rising some 100-150 m above the Ardennes plateau, which is slightly inclined to the NW (1°). Recently, a number of residual Late Cretaceous deposits in this area have been sampled in an attempt to reconstruct the gradual Campanian-Maastrichtian transgression onto the area, which acted as a monadnock during this period.
