Dans les séries litées, l'étude des failles contemporaines ou postérieures au dépôt du minerai peut conduire à définir des métallotectes. [...] la tectonique contemporaine du dépôt des sédiments agit directement sur la manière d'être de ces sédiments dans les bassins [...] 3, record 1, French, - faille%20syns%C3%A9dimentaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cette disposition ne peut évidemment s'expliquer que si l'on suppose que la faille a fonctionné en même temps que la sédimentation; le compartiment abaissé correspondait dans le bassin de sédimentation à une partie basse; les sédiments s'y accumulaient de ce fait sur une plus grande épaisseur. 6, record 1, French, - faille%20syns%C3%A9dimentaire
