The origin of periglacialy displaced slopes deposits in old crystalline mountains is discussed on the base of micromorphological investigations. It is shown that the processes initiated by ice segregation are responsible for the displacement of creeped and bedded grus (frostcreep) and of heads (gehfluction). Gelifluction is defined as a quick frostcreep. The authors propound a paleoclimatic reconstruction for each type of formation. A restatement of the nomenclature is here offered. Three main types of common lithosequences are defined on the base of field observations in the French Massif Central.Le problème des arènes litées et des formations à blocs, principales formations déplacées sur les versants cristallins des massifs anciens des la...
