Les travertins du Coly (Causse de Martel, Dordogne) : contribution de l’endokarst à l’édification d’un système travertineux de vallée
Hoffmann, Frédéric
Abstract:
The "Doux de Coly" is a vauclusian spring with a 4-km-long phreatic gallery which regulates the carbonated minerlization of water. Because the CO2 pressure is too high inside the conduit, this artesian spring cannot deposit carbonates. The spring water connects with another river, the Chironde, and creates the Coly river. This mixing of waters induces chemical variations and allows travertine valley deposit by CO2 degassing and carbonate precipitation. A 2-year-long waterchemistry study reveals the influence of the "Doux de Coly" karstic system (phreatic zone) in the formation of travertines.
