Prehistory and coastal Karst : The Cosquer Cave and the "Massif des Calanques" (Marseille, France ). The Cosquer Cave is a French palaeolithic painted and engraved cave (27 000 / 18 500 BP) which is located under the sea, in the urgonian limestones of Cap Morgiou (" Massif des Calanques", Marseille). The entrance was submerged at the end of the last glacial stage and is presently 37 m under sea level. A synthesis about the Cosquer cave environmental studies is presented here. Structural studies show that cave planimetry is determined by Cap Morgiou fracturations (mainly NW/SE and N/S vertical faults). Through archaeological studies, a concretion breaking period can be dated between 27 000 and 18 000 BP. Geomorphological study of the contine...
