Abstract
The heavy minerals associations in the Trin alluvial deposits do not e stabish a direct relationship between the Bourbonnais Formation and th e Trin alluvial deposits, which more closely resemble the alluvial dep osits of the old terraces of the R. Yonne in this region. The discover y of zircons from Mont-Dore, by the typology, assigns the alluvium in the upper terrace at Trin between Upper Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene in age.
