Abstract
A high resolution stratigraphic cross-section of the Bathonian-Callovi an is reconstructed from the Paris Basin to the Subalpine Basin. The c ross-section (650 km) is built from a total of 50 wells and exposed se ctions, by correlating genetic units that allows biostratigraphically- constrained time-lines through lithologies and depositional environmen ts to be traced. The cross-section shows: 1) a flexural vs block-tilti ng control on stratal geometries; 2) block-controlled carbonate-produc ing areas as well as non-synchronous carbonate drownings; 3) a composi te carbonate Burgundy platform; 4) real geometries not fitting with an y Exxon type models.
