Carbonates, Reefs and Evaporites
Paleogeography of Two Reef Bearing Devonian Formations, Verviers Synclinorium, Belgium
Abstract
The Old Red Mainland emerged in northern Europe after the Caledonian orogenic pulse as a continent now represented in Belgium by the Brabant Massif. It was covered by three major transgressions extending progressively farther north. This study deals with the paleogeography of the second major Devonian transgression in the Verviers Synclinorium (eastern Belgium). Shallow water sediments were deposited on the flank of the Booze-Le Val Dieu Ridge, situated at the margin of the Brabant Massif. Two sedimentary models for the Aisemont and Matagne Formations which yield three levels of carbonate biostromes are considered. The first model is controlled by subsidence with slight modification of the shoreline. The second is based on eustatism with important displacement of the shoreline.
