..., the Lourdes Limestone and the Winterhouse Formation. The Lourdes is largely Porterfieldian, indicating a pre- Nemagraptus gracilis Zone age for the Bonnian phase of the Taconian orogeny. In northern Newfoundland, the Nemagraptus gracilis Zone has been identified in the Lawrence Harbour Shale, and in shales...

... Range (HPR) (Gavarnie-Mont-Perdu thrust sheet). In fact, the presence of those breccias has been already suggested (but without micropalaeontologic arguments) by Mattauer [ in Choukroune, 1969 and 1976] in the Lourdes area (Bigorre). The topic of this paper is to characterize and to assign to the lower...

... is latest Llanvirn/Caradoc in age. The contact between the Lourdes Formation and the Winterhouse Formation is transitional, with limestones of the Lourdes Formation passing radually, over an interval of about 5 m, into shales and siltstones of the Winterhouse Formation. This relationship was interpreted...

... migration des hydrocarbures se situe le long des discordances et des failles. La qualité du pétrole varie de lourd à un condensat trop mature. Environ 50 × 10 6 tonnes (environ 59 × 10 6 m 3 , ou 370 million de barils) de pétrole ont été produites en 1965 et 1985. Ceci est un volume important de pétrole...

... the turbiditic shales and sandstones of the Goose Tickle Group and the underlying, carbonate-dominated Cape Cormorant Formation should form a strong reflector, as indicated in Figure 2 , and discussed below. The next youngest unit within the foreland succession is the Upper Ordovician Lourdes Limestone...

... transport of sediment characterizing demise of the Lourdes platform, but only associated with reworking of detrital dolomite, and lime–mudstone lithoclasts in limestone conglomerate ( Fig. 12 ). There should be a much greater abundance of sand-size grainstone lithoclasts incorporated into the various...

...Figure 6. H/V spectral ratios determined from noise at some rock sites with no significant topography. ROC and a17 are on Cretaceous limestone (with a cave at a17); a97, a30, and b43 are on Cretaceous flysch, and a57 is on ophite (see location of points in Fig.  5 , except a97, which...

... Trough. Towards the east, along the Internal Metamorphic Zone, the Lourdes-Bagnères, Baronnies, Ballongue, Aulus and Saint-Paul de Fenouillet-Boucheville Basins, or those, further north like the Camarade and Quillan Basins, successively examined, testify to the same sedimentary and structural evolution...

... part of the aquifer. Due to those hydrodynamic characteristics, alluvia and non fissured limestone have a high dynamic confining capacity. Elements with high affinity for solid or colloidal phases (e.g. light Ln) have an increased confining capacity in the whole aquifer, by sorption and colloid...

... limestones and radiolarian oozes of Early Cretaceous age (Neocomian). At the end of the arc development, in Late Aptian–Albian, calc-alkaline pillow basalts and andesites erupted at the volcanic front whereas shoshonitic basalts emitted backwards. In the late Early Cretaceous, the arc drifted towards...

Only in the Carters Formation of Tennessee and the Lourdes Limestone of western Newfoundland are appreciable amounts of grainstone found in the mounds. Distribution of Bioherms Although...

... are consistent with the participation of sea water in the metamorphism. Similar conclusions can be drawn from the 18 O analyses of a submarine diabase and two gabbros. Disseminated carbonates in the greenstones have δ 18 C values typically found in carbonatites or partially decarbonated marine limestones...
