Col de Pré Guittard

There is limited information on the site available online; it seems to primarily be of interest to motorbikers – must be a lovely road.

There is, however, a paper with a study of the clay mineralogy of this and other sites linked below, which covers some of the fossils and minerals found in the site and nearby exposures.
