OBS

Désigne les amas de blocs calcaires, de grès ou de schiste, y compris les chaos granitiques, de sorte que le terme n'est pas spécifiquement karstique; néanmoins, les "compayrés" sont plus fréquents sur les "causses" que dans les "ségalas". Ils sont formés de blocs résiduels, laissés sur place, le ruissellement ayant enlevé les dépôts interstitiels.
