Characteristic record - In proximal palaeogeographic zones of the platform (Upper Barremian, G. sartousiana), emersive facies show well-known sedimentary signals of continental, beach and restricted palaeoenvironments (Marseille region, Provence; Masse et al., 2003; Fenerci-Masse et al., 2005) - In relatively distal palaeogeograhic zones of the platform top, peculiar records of subaerial exposure are interpreted (i) in the Vercors as hardground surfaces overprinted by meteoric diagenesis (Cirque d’Archiane; Everts et al., 1995; Fouke et al., 1996; Gresse-en-Vercors; Richet, 2011) and (ii) in North Provence as subaerially exposed shoals of very limited extent (100s-of-meters-scale) occurring atop rudist deposits that show keystone vugs-bearing facies within rudist-dominated successions (La Nesque and Rustrel; Léonide et al., 2012, Figs. 11 and 12) - Reworked charophyte facies are recorded during a single interval of the Urgonian platform development; production area of the Charophytes being not recorded (Autrans, Vercors; Arnaud-Vanneau and 1976, Fig. 10, sequence BsAi; Martin-Closas et al., 2009). - Few other occurrences of peritidal facies are recorded at Gresse-en Vercors (< 2 m thick, Pas Morta section; Richet, 2011, Appendix 5), in South Provence (<1-m-thick deposits in three sections of the Marseille area; Masse et al., 2003; at the Martigues section; Tendil et al., 2018, Fig. 10; and at the Candelle section; Bastide 2014, Appendix 45), in North Provence (Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, La Nesque and Rustrel area sections, Upper Barremian) and in the Subalpine Chain (Pas du Frou section, Lower Barremian; Tendil et al., 2018; Tendil, 2018, in particular p. 70 and references therein, and Appendices). Only in Bastide (2014), peritidal facies (i.e. emersive and close to emersion facies) are not rare in the studied records from Gard-Ardèche (Barjac section, Appendix 44) and Alpilles-Lubéron-North Provence sections. -Subalpine Chains: rudist facies association occurs from the Jura (Montanges, 10s-of-m thick; Frau et al., 2021) to the Vercors (Gorges du Nan, Grands Goulets, Gresse-en-Vercors and Vassieux area, 10s-of-m up to > 100-m-thick; Arnaud-Vanneau and Arnaud, 1976; Richet et al., 2011; Bastide, 2014; Frau et al., 2018, 2021). -Bas-Vivarais: 10s-of-m-thick accumulations of the rudist facies association occur in Upper Barremian sections between Serviers-et-Labaume (Gard) and Saint-Montant (Ardèche; Bastide, 2014; Frau et al., 2018). -Provence: 10s-of-m-thick accumulations of the rudist facies association occur in most Upper Barremian (G. sartousiana) sections from Marseille area to La Nesque and Rustrel and in most Upper Barremian (M. sarasini) sections from Saint-Chamas to La Nesque and Rustrel (Tendil et al., 2018, Figs. 10–12). -Subalpine Chains, Vercors and Chartreuse: The coral and coral-rudist-rubble facies association occurs in sections from the Pas du Frou and Grands Goulets (Upper Barremian, sequence S3, up to 30-m-thick section; Tendil et al., 2018, Fig. 15), Gorges du Nan and Vassieux-Grand Veymond area (Arnaud-Vanneau and Arnaud, 1976), Cirque d’Archiane (Everts et al., 1995), Gresse-en-Vercors (15 and 50-m-thick log sections around the central and southern part of outcrop of sequence 2-3, respectively; Richet, 2011, Appendix 5; Richet et al., 2011, Fig. 10; Frau et al., 2021, Fig. 5). -Bas-Vivarais: m-scale and up to 20-m-thick (Serviers-et-Labaume) coral facies beds occur from Serviers-et-Labaume to Saint-Montant (Bastide, 2014, Figs. 3–8; Tendil et al., 2018, Fig. 15, Upper Barremian). -Provence: m to 10s-of-m thick log sections in Martigues, La Nesque and Rustrel areas of Upper Barremian, sequences S1-3, respectively (Tendil et al., 2018, Fig. 10; Léonide et al., 2012, Figs. 11 and 12) -Subalpine Chains, Vercors and Chartreuse: The ooid facies association occurs at the Pas du Frou (ca. 20-m-thick bed; Upper Barremian, sequence S3, Tendil et al., 2018) and Gresse-en-Vercors (up to 25-m-thick; Richet, 2011). A unique oolitic deposit is the 15-km-wide oolitic shoal interpreted in the Vassieux area (cf. Sect. 4.1 of manuscript; Arnaud-Vanneau and Arnaud, 1976). -Bas-Vivarais: m-scale log sections from Saint-Montant (Upper Barremian-Lower Barremian, sequence S4; Tendil et al., 2018), Chames, La Baume and up to 35-m-thick log section at Pont Laval (Bastide, 2014) -Provence: log sections from Saint-Chamas to La Nesque and Rustrel areas (m-scale and up to few 10s-of-m-thick beds in Orgon in Upper Barremian sequence S1 and below; Frau et al., 2018; Tendil et al., 2018; also cf. Léonide et al., 2012) -Vercors: absence to m-scale-thick Upper Barremian FA7 deposits from the Jura to the North Vercors (Grands Goulets; Tendil et al., 2018, Fig. 15) and up to > 100-m-thick deposits in Gresse-en-Vercors, Col de Rousset and Cirque d’Archiane/Plateau de Glandasse (South Vercors; Everts et al., 1995; Richet et al., 2011; Frau et al., 2021; also cf.

Bastide, 2014, Fig. 4-21). Few 10s-of-m Lower Aptian (sequence S4) deposits occur between Joucas and Montsalier (Tendil, 2018, Appendices Figs. 9, 12–14, 24-25; Léonide et al., 2012, Figs. 12 and 15; Tendil et al., 2018, Fig. 10; also cf.
