The Schisto-Calcaire Subgroup (or ‘Carbonate Subgroup’, Prian, 2008) is predominantly a carbonate succession composed of four formations (Nsc1–Nsc4 in Chevallier et al., 2002 or SCI to SCIV, Fig. 1b and Prian, 2008).The lowermost three formations are calcareous to dolomitic shales with an uppermost sandy shale-siltstone unit with interbedded limestones.
