Abstract Stratigraphy of the Dogger (middle Jurassic) in the southwestern part of the Paris basin, at the north border of the Central Massif is very poorly known because facies are monotonous and outcrops and fossils are scarce. A starting point for working out the stratigraphy is provided by the Creuse river valley, from Argenton-sur-Creuse northwestward to St. Gaultier. Stratigraphic correlations with the southeastern part of the Paris basin were made from 21 good outcrops in the Creuse valley area despite the lack of characteristic ammonites. Dogger formations total more than 100 m thickness, chiefly marine neritic limestones, with intercalated marl in the upper portion. Several meters of lagoonal marl and lignite above the base of the Dogger are transitional from lower to middle Bathonian (upper Dogger). Brachiopods and corals, including reef types, are the chief means of correlation.

<p>In the eastern Paris Basin, the Oxfordian (Upper Jurassic) and Bathonian to Bajocian (Middle Jurassic) carbonate platforms have been intensively cemented, despite rather low burial (< 1000 m). These limestone units are separated from each other by a 150 m thick succession of Callovian - Oxfordian clay-rich rocks. These claystones are currently under investigation by the French national radioactive waste management agency (Andra).</p><p>Most of the initial porosity in the Middle and Upper Jurassic limestones is now sealed by successive stages of calcite precipitation, which have been thoroughly characterized both petrographically and geochemically over the last fifteen years (Buschaert et al., 2004; Vincent et al., 2007; Brigaud et al., 2009; André et al., 2010; Carpentier et al., 2014). However, despite these research efforts, the timing and temperature of the fluids involved in the cementation of these carbonate rocks were still uncertain.    </p><p>Here, we present and discuss newly acquired ∆<sub>47</sub> temperatures and U-Pb ages of calcite cements filling the intergranular pore space, as well as vugs and microfractures.</p><p>The Middle Jurassic limestones were largely cemented during the Late Jurassic / Early Cretaceous period, as shown by our new LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages that agree with the previous Isotope Dilution-TIMS U-Pb age of 147.8 ± 3.8 Ma from Pisapia et al. (2017). This event is believed to be associated to the Bay of Biscay rifting. Our data also reveal a second and more discrete crystallization event during the Late Eocene / Oligocene period, related to the European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS). In both cases, calcite was precipitated from fluids in thermal disequilibrium with the host rocks. </p><p>By contrast, the Upper Jurassic limestones were largely affected by the successive deformation events that occurred during the Late Mesozoic / Cenozoic period. New LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages acquired in ca. 200 µm-thick fractures reveal that calcite crystallized during three successive periods corresponding to the Pyrenean compression, the ECRIS extension and, finally, during the Alpine compression. These compression phases generated late stylolitization and subsequent dissolution/recrystallization in the Upper Jurassic limestones, while such tectonic features are rare in the Middle Jurassic.</p><p>Therefore, as opposed to the more conventional « burial-induced » model, our study highlights the role of stress propagation in the cementation of carbonate rocks hundreds of kilometers away from the rifting or collisional areas.</p><p>References:</p><p>Buschaert et al., 2004.

Abstract. Two species of the limnic ostracode genus Rosacythere Colin (Limnocytheridae, Timiriaseviinae) have been identified in the uppermost Bajocian (Middle Jurassic) of the southern part of the Paris Basin, France. This record is the earliest for this genus and for the ‘Kovalevskiella group’ of Colin & Danielopol (1978 Colin & Danielopol (1980). This study also confirms that most of the Timiriaseviinae morphological groups really started to diversify during the Middle Jurassic.

Abstract In recent years stylolites, which are rough dissolution surfaces commonly found in carbonates, have been used for paleopiezometry estimates. The Stylolite Roughness Inversion Technique (SRIT) applied on sedimentary bedding-parallel stylolites (BPS) grants access to the maximum principal vertical stress experienced by the host carbonates and thus to their maximum burial paleo-depth. This study reports the results of SRIT applied to a BPS population hosted in carbonate platform reservoirs of the Paris basin sub-surface (France). Middle Jurassic carbonates from two well cores from the depocenter and margin of the basin, for which the burial and thermal history are known, based on a thermally calibrated 3-D basin model, were analyzed. By defining a consistency criterion and using two signal treatment methods, we propose a new approach to select which BPS can be reliably used to reconstruct the maximum vertical stress undergone by the host carbonates, which then can be converted into maximum burial depth. The study of a BPS population shows that there is a control operated by the host rock texture and the stylolite morphology on the burial depth recorded. Especially suture and sharp peak BPS are better suited to estimate the real maximum depth, whereas seismogram pinning BPS record preferentially intermediate depths. Median values of maximum depth derived from our data set (1300 and 1650 m for the margin and depocenter cores, respectively) are in line with maximum burial estimates provided by conventional basin modeling (1450 and 1800 m, respectively), thus showing that SRIT is a standalone robust depth gauge in sedimentary basins, provided sample selection and data treatment are carried out in a rigorous and thoughtful manner.
