Pelite
Credit
: Eric LE BOUTEILLER
Description
It was at the end of the primary era and the Permian era 250 million years ago that these vast red lands were born. The erosion of a very ancient crystalline mountain range led to fine silt mixed with volcanic ash being deposited on a flood plain. Pressure and heat transformed this accumulation of sediment into pelite. Their red-wine colour is the result of oxidation of the iron that they contain. Nine hundred metres of deposits are visible below Cime du Barrot.
