Conglomérats polygéniques ophiolitiques: anciens éboulis de talus de fond océanique?
Field observations on the polygenetic conglomerates associated with the ophiolitic complexes in the Eastern Townships are comparable to those on the common slope facies in the present-day ocean bottom. Sedimentary processes (submarine erosion, deposition) are probably responsible for the internal structures of the conglomerates. This working hypothesis replaces the explosion-origin interpretation previously proposed. [Journal Translation]
