Couches de l’Aroley Formation
The Couches de l’Aroley are a sedimentary formation deposited during the Early Cretaceous. They consist of calcitic schists with dolomite clasts interbedded with finegrained conglomerates. The whole sequence is about 100 m thick. The Couches de l’Aroley are the lowest of the three post-rift sequences deposited in the Valais ocean. It overlies syn-rift sequences of the Brèches du Grand Fond Group.

Brèches du Grand Fond Group
The Brèches du Grand Fond Group is a group of stratigraphic formations that were deposited between the Middle Jurassic and the Early Cretaceous.
