The Belgian nonsulfide Zn deposits represent the historical basis for the zinc mining and
smelting industry in Europe. The zinc ores were called “calamines” and consist of a mixture …

High-resolution clay mineral analyses were performed on lower and middle Albian deposits
from the Paris and Vocontian basins in order to specify the weathering conditions that …

The Middle Jurassic carbonates of the eastern part of the Paris Basin display surprisingly
low values of porosity and permeability (Φ< 15‰ and K< 0.5 mD). The main objective of this …

The thermal evolution of sediments in the shallowest part of sedimentary basins is
challenging to investigate as most of the geothermometers are at their application limits. This …

During the early Cretaceous, successive tectonic phases and several sea level falls resulted
in the emersion of the main part of western Europe and the development of thick “lateritic” …

Abstract In 2013, Andra (French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency) drilled
boreholes to the south-east of the Paris Basin, to characterise Aptian and Albian clayey …

This study presents the first application of the U/Pb dating method to highly Pb-depleted
diagenetic geodic calcites of the Jurassic formations of the Paris Basin that leads to a …

Abstract The Armorican Massif, an extensive outcrop of Variscan basement in western
France, is shaped by several planation surfaces of debated origin and age. We propose an …

We investigate the source of non-purely gravitational horizontal stresses in the Paris basin, a
nowadays tectonically quiet intracratonic basin, in its eastern border of which outstandingly …

This paper proposes a new scenario for the thermal history of the Carboniferous Lorraine
Coal Basin following the tectonic model developed by Averbuch et al.(2012) and establishes …
