Outcrop of Vieux Emosson Formation: a extensive bedding plane exposure of basal sandstone and conglomerate unit (double arrow), that fining upward to a shale unit. Dashed line indicates contact of formation with overlying allocthonous sedimentary units (Ravin des Ottans locality); b basal conglomerate unconformably overlies Aiguilles Rouge basement (Vieux Emosson locality); note internal erosional surface (arrow) separating lighter arkosic sandstones overlying subarkoses (See Fig. 3); and c close-up of unconformity in b
