The La May Member was named by Gygi (1995. p. 12). The name refers to the small valley called La May 2.5 km northeast of St-Ursanne in Canton Jura. LK 1085 St-Ursanne. where part of the member crops out at coordinates ca. 580.750/247.500 in the unpublished section RG 337. Below is the marl of the Bure Member which is covered, and above is a good outcrop of the massive Porrentruy Member. The only complete section of the La May Member was provided by the exploration well for the Transjurane superhighway near La Coperie farm 2 km east of St-Ursanne. This is section RG 443 which is represented as plate 20 in Gygi (2000b). The limestone of the La May Member is mostly micritic, well-cemented and well-bedded. Rounded lithoclasts of micrite grow to a diameter of 10 mm and are not rare. Macrofossils are Cycloserpula socialis (Goldfuss) and the bivalve Pholadomya. The thickness of the member is about 30 m in the borehole near La Coperie that Gygi (2000b p. 61) proposed to be the type section for lack of a complete outcrop at the surface. No ammonites have been found in the La May Member to date. The clay mineral stratigraphy by Gygi & Persoz (1986. Pl. 1A) indicates that the age of the La May Member ranges from the Hauffianum Subchron ofthe Bimammatum Chron to the lower Planula Chron (Gygi. 1995. Fig. 2). The La May Member occurs only in Canton Jura. The boundaries of the member with the Laufen and Verena Members are transitional.
