Maritimes) in the subalpine range of Nice.
Diffi culties can persist in the interpretation of the continuity of certain
units at depth. The most probable hypotheses are illustrated in the cross-
sections, based on the regional style of tectonics, the reconstructed thickness
of major units, and the strike and dip of bedding measured at the surface.
When the thickness of a major bed cannot be precisely determined, due to
inconsistent outcropping (caused by superfi cial covering or tectonic effects),
