Abstract
The study area is located south-east of Marseilles, France (Fig. 1). The mounds under consideration (La Perussone and La Marcouline, arrows on Fig. 1) flank both sides of the E—W trending Carpiagne anticline; the core of this anticline is made of Urgonian Limestones. Several sedimentologic data strengthen the concept of a former anticline or dome during Cenomanian times.
