Methodology and Paleogeographic Interpretation of Flysch Formations: A Summary of Studies in the Maritime Alps.
Abstract
This paper reviews some of the more basic lithologic parameters which should be taken into consideration during the investigation of any flysch-type formation. Many of these variables can be measured and recorded regardless of the specific lithology of the formation or the type of study undertaken. In their work with flysch in the Maritime Alps, the authors found that the parameters most useful in determining paleocurrent trends, paleoslopes, source areas, and the like are usually among those which are simplest to measure in the field and the laboratory. These are outlined in the text.
