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

“…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. …”
