Un profil des gres vosgiens le long de la vallee de la Meurthe

Closely spaced borings for ground water in the Meurthe valley between Baccarat and Luneville, France, show that the dip of the Vosgian sandstones (Triassic) is variable, a fact which is attributed to northeastsouthwest faults rather than to flexures. The water table in the sandstones is well protected from infiltration of saline water from overlying middle Muschelkalk (Triassic) beds; however, a periodic increase in salinity at Chenevieres may be due to leaching of a middle Muschelkalk bed.
