p.128: Buix Member (Gygi 2000b). Previously "Kreide von St. Ursanne" ; Member of the St-Ursanne Formation (Synonymy: Gygi 2000b p. 56) The Buix Member was renamed by Gygi (2000b. p. 56). lt is named after the village of Buix north of Porrentruy in Canton Jura (LK 1065 Bonfol) where it crops out in the quarry of Les Creppes (unpublished section RG 347) where it is easily accessible. However, the base ofthe member is not visible in that quarry. A complete outcrop of the member is in the quarry of the former lime works near the railway station of St-Ursanne, Canton Jura. This section has been studied in detail by Pümpin (1965. PI. 1. section 2). Gygi (2000b. p. 56) proposed beds 8-10 in Pümpin's section to be the reference section of the Buix Member. A schematic version of this section was later published by Gygi (1982. Fig. 4). This is section RG 336 at coordinates 579.200/246.370. LK 1085. St-Ursanne. The Buix Member is a massive, yellowish-white to pure white, more or less porous and friable limestone which was compared with chalk by Ziegler (1962). Coral bioherms occur in this unit near Leymen. France. Flüh, Canton Solothurn, and Delémont. St-Ursanne and Buix. Canton Jura. Locally, the limestone was slightly dolomitic. but the euhedral dolomite crystals have been dissolved and left empty pores as in the unpublished section RG 344. beds 3 and 8 near Courtemaîche, Canton Jura. In this case, the rock weathers in perpendicular rods as was observed by Liniger (1970. p. 7). Large chert nodules occur in the upper Buix Member in the sections RG 343 and 344 at Courtemaîche. The mean thickness of the member is about 35 m. The age was established biochronologically with ammonites by Gygi (1995. Fig. 2) that were found by V. Pümpin at St-Ursanne near the boundary between the Antecedens and the Luciaeformis Subzones in the Transversarium Zone. The Buix Member occurs in the Ajoie region in the northern part of Canton Jura and near Liesberg. Canton Baselland. It is the lagoonal facies of the upper St-Ursanne Formation (Fig. 1).
