Abstract
We show that no break of sedimentation occurs between Stephanian and P ermian times within the Graissessac-Lodeve basin. This agrees with rec ent models in which the development of Permo-Carboniferous basins with in the Variscan chain results from post-thickening extension, induced by the gravity collapse of a previously thickened crust.
