5. FORMAL LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIC UNITS
In this section, the lithostratigraphic units are briefly described. Bibliographic references are usually limited to the first nominative citation of the unit and those containing significant information. Further references concerning their sedimentology or their stratigraphy can be found in Paproth et al., 1983 and Hance et al., 2001. Synonyms are given in Paproth et al.
Fifty-three units are presented here, arranged in order of their age, from the oldest to the youngest.
