Dear Mark, I vaguely remember that Martin Mazurek et al. from the University in Bern have studied the thermal evolution of the sedimentary successions in northern Switzerland, including the Mesozoic sediments that make up the Jura Mts.: Mazurek, M., Hurford, A. & Leu, W., 2006, Unravelling the multi-stage burial history of the Swiss Molasse Basin: integration of apatite fission track, vitrinite reflectance and biomarker isomerisation analysis. Basin Research 18, 27-50. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2117.2006. Hope this helps.
