A marine sedimentary facies characterized by a thick sequence of poorly fossiliferous, thinly bedded, graded deposits composed chiefly of marls and sandy and calcareous shales and muds, rhythmically interbedded with conglomerates, coarse sandstones, and graywackes. 4, record 1, English, - flysch
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
... there are two major facies of sediments associated with geosynclines or mobile belts. These are the "flysch" and the "molasse" facies. ... The flysch facies is marked by its great thickness and its predominantly argillaceous nature. It is almost wholly clastic, although at some stages bedded cherts or radiolarites were deposited. ... The bedding is well marked, uniform, and rhythmic ... The principal material is shale or silty shale regularly interbedded with graded beds of dark sandstone (usually graywackes) varying from a few centimeters to a meter or two in thickness. ... Graded bedding is the rule; large-scale cross-bedding is absent, although ripple bedding may be present. ... Noteworthy is the absence of carbonates, except as concretions in siltstone beds. 2, record 1, English, - flysch

Des cordillères surgissent, alimentant les bras de mer en matériel de plus en plus grossier. C'est ainsi que le faciès «flysch» s'installe d'abord dans les parties internes, puis vers l'extérieur, ainsi que le montrent les séries orogéniques des diverses unités préalpines et helvétiques dans les Alpes françaises, suisses, bavaroises et autrichiennes. 6, record 1, French, - flysch
