  • Cretaceous Transition in Mount Lebanon
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by I-Revues Carnets Geol. 16 (8) Some steps toward a new story for the Jurassic - Cretaceous transition in Mount Lebanon Bruno GRANIER 1 Christopher TOLAND 2 Raymond GÈZE 3 Dany AZAR 3, 4 Sibelle MAKSOUD 3 Abstract: The stratigraphic framework of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous strata of Lebanon that dates back to DUBERTRET's publications required either consolidation or full revision. The preliminary results of our investigations in the Mount Lebanon region are presented here. We provide new micro- paleontological and sedimentological information on the Salima Oolitic Limestones, which is probably an unconformity-bounded unit (possibly Early Valanginian in age), and the "Grès du Liban" (Barremian in age). Our revised bio- and holostratigraphic interpretations and the new age assignations lead us to em- phasize the importance of the two hiatuses in the sedimentary record below and above the Salima, i.e., at the transition from the Jurassic to the Cretaceous. Key Words: Tithonian; Valanginian; Barremian; hiatus; unconformity; Salima Oolitic Limestones; "Grès du Liban"; amber; Balkhania. Citation: GRANIER B., TOLAND C., GÈZE R., AZAR D. & MAKSOUD S.

It comes at a time when the country as a whole is torn into bits and pieces and when, following eleven years of war, the economy is in shambles: the industrial sector is virtually crippled, the wheels of commerce are slowly grinding to a halt, and the national currency is fast becoming worthless. In this tormented context, the construction sector, as will become apparent in the following pages, has incredibly maintained its resilience.
