The upper Tithonian-Berriasian (uppermost Jurassic-lowermost Cretaceous) section of the Luc-en-Diois region (Drome, French Prealps) includes two conglomeratic sequences separated by marly limestones. Similar sections are known from several surrounding localities. The lower conglomerate at Luc-en-Diois is correlated with the upper Tithonian main breccia of Chomerac in the Ardeche region. The marly limestone contains microfauna of lower Berriasian ostracods. The upper conglomerate, with its associated red detrital limestone, may similarly be equivalent to the upper conglomerate of the Ardeche section; it is probably uppermost Berriasian, marking the Berriasian-Valanginian boundary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
