p.19: The Bresse Graben is entirely located in France and stretches roughly from Lyon to Dijon with a N–S orientation. A NE–SW oriented extension reaches the northwestern corner of the map area and is clearly separated from the Haute-Saône Platform by NNE–SSW to NE–SW oriented normal faults. The Bresse Graben is part of the European Cenozoic Rift System (Illies 1972, Hinsken et al. 2007), is ca. 35–60 km wide and filled with Paleogene–Neogene sediments which are up to 2 km thick (Chauve et al. 1980, Rocher et al. 2003).
