Reconstitution of the geometry of sedimentary basins is fundamental to understand the nature of present sedimentary rocks and the economic potential in hydrocarbon and mineral resources. Present-day topography of southern France shows elevations growing between the Meso-Cenozoic Aquitaine Basin to t...
