Intracontinental Miocene: Reconstruction of hydrology and paleoclimate change in the Forez Basin, France (Part II)

► Forez Basin hosts chemical sediments deposited from Early to Late Miocene times. ► Chemical sediments and microfossils allow division of two sedimentological sequences. ► The shallow sequence shows syn-depositional conditions and weather climatic change. ► The deeper units show change from syn-depositional to diagenetic precipitates.
