The oldest open-minded formation is the Oxfordian, which borders the upper reaches of the Ruisseau de Beaussac at La Brousse. It consists of beige-colored, fine-grained limestones. About the Oxfordian is transgressive Cenomanian to see further down the valley until shortly before Beaussac. The Cenomanian consists of three units - green, oyster -bearing marls, fine-grained sands and sandy Alveolinenkalken.
