Abstract

Abstract Cores drilled in the Jaude-Salins section of Clermont-Ferrand (central France) penetrated more than 30 meters of marsh sand, loam, and volcanic cinders without reaching the Oligocene substratum. The depression in which these sediments were deposited borders the Puys volcanic chain and is probably the result of recent Quaternary subsidence, a conclusion suggested by the position of the depression on the Clermont fault and its coincidence with a zone of hot springs.
