Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Perte du Rhône | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The author describes the Albian as the Gault, which is divided into upper, middle and lower intervals. This is a general collection for the upper Albian. Strasser et al. 2016 proposed the three members belong to the Perte du Rhône Formation.
Strasser et al. 2016: The uppermost early and early middle Albian is represented by marls, which are more developed in the Swiss part of the Jura Mountains (up to 30 m thick), and which contain pyritized ammonites (‘‘Albien pyriteux’’). The third, upper part of the formation is a mica- rich sandstone with variable amounts of glauconite. This unit is present only in the southern French Jura. |
