The Jura Mountains are a sub-alpine mountain range located on the border between France and Switzerland, known for their folded limestone formations. The Jura Mountains are significant in studying the tectonic processes of mountain building, the stratigraphy of the Mesozoic era, and the development of karst landscapes.
