a Correlations between the lithostratigraphic formations of the Breccia, Médianes, Mont Fort and Tsaté nappes (Prealps and Pennine Alps) for the Jurassic, Cretaceous and Paleogene periods; in this representation, only the time-extensions of the formations are indicated, independently of their actual thickness; modified after Dall’Agnolo (1997, 2000); Mosar et al. (1996, fig. 4); Stampfli et al. (1998, 2002); Plancherel et al. (1998, 2020); Decrausaz et al. (2021); Marthaler et al. (2020b); brown lines represent hardgrounds; blue dashed lines indicate probable tectonic contacts; Ccsl: Calcaires compacts et sublithographiques; MB: Mytilus Beds; He: Heiti Fm. b Restoration attempt of the South Briançonnais - Prepiemont margin at Late Cretaceous Epoch, before the onset of Alpine deformation in that area; modified after Stampfli and Marthaler (1990); Stampfli et al. (1998, 2002); Mohn et al. (2010); Pantet et al. (2020); UB: Ultrabriançonnais domain
