Location map showing sites of 12 measured units of the Annot Sandstone (Eocene–Oligocene) along a road section, near Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps, during a field study by Mobil Oil Company. Bouma (1962), p.93, his Fig. 23) used this road section, among others, in his Ph.D. study of the Annot Sandstone and other formations in developing the turbidite facies model. Unit 9 in this study corresponds to Bouma’s Layer No.1 in his measured section K (see Bouma 1962, Enclosures I in inside pocket of back book cover). An outcrop photograph of Layer No.1 is published by Bouma (1962, see his Plate H1). Each unit in this study represents a major sandstone body and closely related minor sandstone and mudstone beds. Map is simplified after Lanteaume et al. (1967). Figure from Shanmugam (2002). With permission from Elsevier. Copyright Clearance Center’s RightsLink: Licensee: G. Shanmugam.
