| Looking NE onto the hill of M. Margerie (1845m) from near Les Deserts. The lower cliff (Le Roc, top at c. 1000m) is made of Urgonian limestone (younging up). The woods above and behind this lower cliff contain Oligocene sediments which are overlain tectonically by a right way-up sequence of Cretaceous rocks, culminating in the prominent cliff of Urgonian limestone at the summit of La Margerie. |
