Abstract
The Grès d’Annot Basin of SE France is thought to represent the earliest phases of the western Alps foreland basin (Elliott et al. 1985). Regional stratigraphy comprises a Mesozoic passive margin carbonate succession unconformably overlain by a deepening-upward succession. From base to top this consists of localized continental deposits (Poudingues d’Argens), transgressive shelfal limestones (Calcaire Nummulitique, mainly Lutetian), slope and/or basinal marls (Marnes Bleues) and turbiditic deposits of the Grès d’Annot (Upper Eocene-Lower Oligocene).
