Science - Geology / In a Paris office lease

French term or phrase: gypse antéludien

Clause of office lease about risk of subsidence caused by "la présence en sous-sol de Paris d'anciennes carrières et de zones de gypse antéludien".
I've ascertained that there are pockets of gypsum and old quarries underlying parts of Paris, but can't find "antéludien".
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
