Abstract ref. 2025 (not seen):
Sedimentary rocks exposed in the vicinity of Malleval (southeast France) include Tithonian (Jurassic), Berriasian, Valanginian, Hauterivian, and Urgonian (all lower Cretaceous) formations. A new outcrop of the upper Valanginian reef facies is reported. The Nant and Gerlette anticlines and the Picotiere syncline, all oriented north-south, are cut by three previously undescribed fracture systems: north-south, north-northwest-south-southeast, and  west-southwest-east-northeast. The late phase of tangential movements in the Subalpine region is probably responsible for westward thrusting along the fractures.
