A mid-Tournaisian-late Viséan carbonate ramp reconstructed from nappes and olistolites in the southern Montagne Noire (France)

The mainly calcareous succession from the mid Tournaisian to the lower part of the upper Viséan in the Southern Montagne Noire Mont Peyroux nappes and Cabrières slices is sedimentologically revised. From the late Viséan, the Variscan orogeny affected the area, and the studied Mississippian part of the succession was considered as part (together with the Devonian) of a period of tectonic quiescence, later included as nappes and olistolites in a...
