Marqueurs d'une structuration extensive jurassique en arrière de la marge nord-téthysienne (monts du Mâconnais, Bourgogne, France)

2000

Structural analysis of extensional faults in the Mâconnais Hills shows that low-intensity extensional phenomena occurred back from the passive margin of the Ligurian Tethys, the axis of which lay some 400 km southeast of the study area in Mid-Jurassic times. Storm-induced rip current directions and coral lens positions suggest that the palaeotopography was maintained by early faulting.
