Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2003 ; no 1416.

The Jura Molasse, in which most remains of the studied Rhinocerotoidea remains were found, constitutes a well preserved distal part of the Molasse Basin. This sedimentary series covered a major part of the Jura chain during the Oligocene and Miocene. Today, it is only sporadically found trapped in valleys or preserved in karst fillings. During the Oligo-Miocene period, the Jura region was...

Le Paléogène des synclinaux du Jura et de la bordure sud-rhénane : paléontologie (Ostracodes), paléoécologie, biostratigraphie et paléogéographie

Picot, Laurent ; Berger, Jean-Pierre (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2002 ; no 1375.

In the distal part of the Swiss Molassic basin, a typical foreland basin, the Jura Molasse is trapped within different synclines. This study focused on the paleogene deposits present in these synclines and as well as in the south border of the Graben. All formations mentionned in the literature were identified and a hiearchy was established. Each formation was defined and fixed on the...
