CONT

Même s'ils sont nommées, les aquifères, les sables pétrolifères, les lits de charbon et les couches en carrières ne deviennent pas pour autant des unités formelles. Certaines de ces unités [d'intérêt économique] peuvent cependant être reconnues formellement comme lits, membres ou formations, si elles jouent un rôle important dans la compréhension de la stratigraphie régionale.
