The Brécy depocenter as part of a new northern Massif Central Carboniferous–Permian Basin (France) by Beccaletto, Laurent, Bourquin, Sylvie

“…It is estimated that the maximum thickness of the Brécy depocenter is 3900 m. The filling provides evidence for a thick late Carboniferous–lower Permian syn-rift stage overlain by a thin post-rift stage, probably similar to the tectonic evolution of the northeastward basins in the Lorraine region of France and Germany and thus attributed to the lower-middle Permian. …”
