“Depositional dynamics of glaucony-rich deposits in the Lower Cretaceous of the Nice arc, southeast France” [Cretaceous Research 25 (2004) 179-189] - Discussion

Pasquini et al. propose a reconstruction of the “depositional dynamics of glaucony-rich deposits in the Lower Cretaceous of the Nice arc, southeast France”. Their paper is mainly based on four logs: Saint Laurent de l'Escarène, Vallon de Parais, Pont de Caï and Col de Vescavo. The Saint Laurent log is the most complete in the Lower Cretaceous of the Alps-Maritimes area and has been used as the regional stratigraphic reference for over a century. A comparison with data from literature and our personal studies indicates that some elements of the analysis of this Saint Laurent log (Esc section: cf. figs. 3 and 5 in Pasquini et al.) must be completed and/or corrected.
