The Chattian Lower Freshwater Molasse (USM) of the Thun area comprises a thick series of continental sediments which occur in three imbricate thrust sheets (Steffisburg, Zulg-Hombach, Blueme) of the Subalpine Molasse and over wide areas of the autochthonous Plateau Molasse. Facies analysis of outcrops, complemented by conglomerate clast counts, sandstone petrography, heavy mineral analysis and data from two deep exploration wells and seismics permit structural restoration of the thrust sheets, correlation of subalpine and autochthonous USM and consequently the reconstruction of the geometry and facies evolution of the alluvial fan systems. The most complete succession measuring more than 4500 m is preserved in the structurally highest Blueme thrust sheet
