The southern low plateaus were mostly filled by a mass of rather ill-defined Paleogene and Neogene sands and gravel called the molasse, stripped off the rising Pyrenees. |
This material, composed of clay, sand and pebbles, is known as molasse and is the principal type of rock in the plateau. |
He interpreted pre-Easdale Subgroup rocks as flysch and subsequent molasse derived from a Knoydartian orogen. |
In this research, values for the elastic coefficient of restitution for components of a molasse conglomerate were measured using a newly developed drop-test apparatus. |
Siliceous-clay with a clay and pure molasse subsoil on sandy Saint-Emilion glacis. This vineyard was drained and reshaped. |
A similar, coeval flux of Pelagonian material has been recognized in the Mesohellenic molasse basin of northern Greece. |
