“…Kaiser (2005) noted differences in older assignments of individual beds to particular conodont biozones. However Korn & Feist (2007) reported the presence of all five conodont zones representing the Hangenberg Limestone in the Rhenish successions (upper praesulcata -sandbergi Conodont biozones) from the uppermost part of the Montagne Noire Griotte Group. Their ammonoid faunas from this interval were of latest Devonian (below the dark shales) and early Tournaisian ages, thus corroborating the conodont data, and establishing a Tournaisian age for the topmost beds of the "supragriottes".…”

“…The decision (Paproth et al, 1991) to define the base of the Carboniferous in the La Serre section (global stratotype section and point, GSSP) has been a stimulus for the study of this time interval in the Montagne Noire from the mid-1980's onward. Recent work on the Carboniferous ammonoids (Korn & Feist, 2007) provided an improved biostratigraphical and also lithostratigraphical scheme for the preorogenic phase and thus allows detailed comparisons to other basins. New lithostratigraphical and biostratigraphical data for late Mississippian exotic blocks within the flysch were provided by Poty et al (2002), Aretz (2002 a, b), Vachard & Aretz (2004) and Pille (2008).…”

ABSTRACT. The Kulm facies of the Montagne Noire formed in a foreland basin south of the French Massif Central. During the preorogenic phase (Tournaisian -early late Viséan) two major facies domains can be differentiated in the Montagne Noire. The Mont Peyroux Succession represents more distal environments with an almost continuous stratigraphical record, which displays the development from a deeper-water carbonate platform to a starved basin facies, which is followed by the onset of calciturbidite deposition. The contemporaneous Ecailles Succession, only found in exotic blocks, represents the proximal environments with important stratigraphical gaps. The synorogenic phase of the basin (early late Viséan -Serpukhovian?) is characterized by flysch deposits, which contain in the later stages large exotic blocks indicating the final collapse of a mixed-siliciclastic carbonate shelf system. Differences in the Kulm sequence of the Carboniferous foreland basin of southern France (Montagne Noire, Mouthoumet Massif and Pyrénées) are due to different local palaeotopographies and distances to platform areas and sediment sources in the preorogenic sedimentation, and the timing of the onset of the synorogenic sedimentation and the migration of the depocentre from east to west. Striking similarities in respect to the overall facies, but also to the development of particular facies during a particular time slice exist to the succession of the Rhenish Kulm Basin, especially its north-western part; e.g. dark shales with phosphatic nodules during the Lower Alum Shale Event or the interruption of the bedded chert deposition by deeper water carbonates during the latest Tournaisian -earliest Viséan.
