a Sharp contact between the soft, marl-dominated Goldberg Formation below and the massive limestone cliff of the Pierre-Châtel Formation above (along road 521B west of Yenne). b Contact between the Goldberg Formation below and the Pierre-Châtel Formation above (abandoned quarry at Rusel southwest of Bienne, 1.5 km southwest of the type locality of the Goldberg Formation). c Top of the Vions Formation and base of the Chambotte Formation at Mount Salève. The soft, retreating contact is where the Corraterie trail passes. d Contact between the softer Vions Formation below and the massive limestone beds of the Chambotte Formation above (along road 991B from Chindrieux to Chambotte). e Top of the lower part of the massive Chambotte Formation below and the softer Guiers Member above (along the road from Chindrieux to Chambotte). f Top of the Chambotte Formation (at the level of the hammer). The overlying marly interval is the equivalent of the Arzier Marls, followed by the reddish limestones of the Vuache Formation (along the road from Chindrieux to Chambotte). Hammer is 33 cm long
