2.1.2. Raverette member (Bajocian?) This member, which is 16 m thick along the Sépey-Diablerets road and around 40 m in the Grande Eau gorge, is composed at its base by calcareous microconglomeratic metric massflows with millimetric to centimetric elements, separed by thin layers of micaceous marls and calcareous sandstones. Going up in the series, the size and granulometry of the beds become finer, Tab Bouma (Bouma turbidites classification can be found in Bouma 1962) sequences and graded beddings occur. We often found incorporated ductile clasts forming extensive lenses due to compaction. In the matrix, all clasts are represented by: quartz (very often polycristalline), feldspars, black limestones with spicules (plate 1) and dolomite, there are two dominant size groups of clast ranging from mm to cm. The cement is dolomitic, probably of secondary origin.
