Environmental changes during marl-limestone formation: evidence from the Gargasian (Middle Aptian) of La Marcouline Quarry (Cassis, SE France)
Limestone-marl alternations are usually interpreted to reflect cyclic paleoenvironmental fluctuations linked to Milankovitch-scale climate variations.However, the impact of diagenesis on lithological differentiation can be overprinted on the primary signal.In order to evaluate environmental variations during the deposition of the Gargasian hemipela
