Geological map of the St-Ursanne area, modified from GeoCover (Swisstopo 2012) and the Geological Atlas 1:25,000 (Laubscher 1963a, b). The formations are illustrated by the official colors as defined by the Lithostratigraphic Lexicon of Switzerland (www.strati.ch). The Paleogene and Neogene deposits encompass the following formations: Conglomerates of Porrentury, Terres jaunes, Meeresand, Septarienton, Alsace Molasse, Upper Marine Molasse (marnes rouges & Gompholites), Upper Freshwater Molasse (Formation du Bois de Raube, Vogesenschotter). Note the oldest exposed geological unit belongs to the Klettgau formation (Keuper) in the core of the Mont Terri anticline
