Le paléokarst littoral de Provence (Estaque, Calanques et zone de Bandol)
Blanc, J. J.
Abstract:
The general features of coastal paleokarst in Provence are describes: suspended gallery sections and drain-pipes cut across by fracturations or fault reactivation. The types of deformations and breaking observed are tilting, stalactite fall, extension fault sealing, reactivation and speleothem shearing, coastal wall and karstic cleft collapse as well as network deformation. The influence of structural environment is represented by overlapping strata, coastal faults and crossed-fault systems. Emphasis has been laid on the tectonic inheritance as well as the geodynamic context. To conclude, the importance of provençal-ligurian rifting mechanisms and the transition to faulted and distorted margin is underlined.
