geology
Saint-Jory-de-Chalais lies entirely on the metamorphic basement of the northwestern Massif Central . The municipality has a share in two ceiling units: along the western border on mica schists of the parautochthonous mica schist unit and in the rest of the area on rocks of the structurally higher lower gneiss ceiling , mainly mica schist, paragneiss , leptynite and orthogneiss . The at La Croix pending in the south, northeast trending mica schist are the Roche Noire massif very similar in Saint-Paul-la-Roche - they also lead than oceanic crust remains eingeschuppte amphibolites ( epidote -containing) and eclogite . Above the mica schists follow medium-grained leptynites that may have emerged from Ordovician granites . They contain a kilometer-long, northeast-oriented peridotite body ( serpentinite ) south of Comboux . Paragneiss, whose parent rocks are Neoproterozoic Grauwacken , lie above the Leptynites , followed by the Cambrian Orthogneiss of the Dronne Arc . The paragneiss at Vauriac contains a larger pegmatite body that also follows the northeast direction . The orthogneiss emerged from leukogranites and can also be designed as leptynites or as eye gneiss . At Les Riffes , they are penetrated by a north-northeast trending lamprophyre dike along a fault .
During the Devonian was made, medium to high grade regional metamorphism generally reached the Staurolith -Isograd, sometimes also the kyanite -Isograd (especially in the north of the Lower Gneiss ceiling).
Altitudes between the rivers are mostly covered by colluvial cover sediments of the Tertiary , usually sands and clays . Over this mostly relocated colluvium lies a very extensive alluvial river tongue (river gravel) from the Pliocene or Pleistocene in the southeast .
