This paper is subsequent to the publication "Paleogeography of the Ardèche canyon from the Lower Cretaceous to the Oligocene" (Jolivet et al, 2022). The objective, by the approach of tectonics, geomorphology and geochemistry, is to understand the distribution of fluvial circulations during the Paleogene as well as at the geological interface represented by the Lower Oligocene-Miocene, at the beginning of the incision of the Ardèche canyon in the Neogene. The geographical setting of this wide sedimentary unit extends from the Triassic borders of the Cévennes to the east, passing successively to the Jurassic terrains, to end in the West with the vast Lower Cretaceous carbonate entity of the Bas Vivarais and Garrigues regions included in the d...
