describe the siliciclastic GdA Fm. (GdA = Grés d'Annot) rocks in logs during field work
due chemostratigraphical reasons - sample homogeneous, fine to coarse-grained sandstones in outcrops of the GdA Fm. (see sample map)
apply thin section microscopy to examine fabric, texture, determine avarage grain-size and grain-size distribution of the collected samples
apply thin section microscopy, x-ray diffractometrie (XRD) to identify and quantify the mineral content of the samples
apply thin section microscopy and microprobe to identify heavy mineral appearence and compare identified heavy mineral populations
classify the GdA Sst based on various sandstone classification models
