Résumé : A review of isolated data from the literature and our own observations make it possible to establish a model of the stratigraphical history of the Ordovician on the southern margin of the Brabant Massif. The succession is composed of seven informal formations, totalling a minimum of 2500 m of sediments, mainly comprising mudstones, siltstones and sandstones. This succession is compared and partly correlated with the sections observed in the adjoining areas, in the Bande de Sambre-et-Meuse, the Stavelot and Rocroi Massifs and the Remscheid–Altena and Ebbe anticlines (western Germany). © 1993, Cambridge University Press.
