Fig. 11

Highly schematic section (not to scale) illustrating ENE-ward onlap of the Molasse succession onto the faulted and karstified foreland of the Jura. The dashed section passes over the Glovelier High with additional topographic relief (shown as a dashed line) which was exposed prior to OMM deposition. Intervals of karstic discharge are seen as favouring the deposition of freshwater carbonates at times when topographic relief was infilled and clastic supply was low
