The so-called Table Jura or Plateau Jura ( German: Tafeljura; French: le Jura tabulaire) is the northeastern extension of the Jura Mountains. It stands in opposition to the folded Jura (Faltenjura) of the Jura range proper. [1]

The Table Jura stretches across the Swiss cantons of Basel-Landschaft, Aargau, and Schaffhausen ( Randen) into southern Germany ( Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria), including the Hoher Randen, Baar, the Swabian Jura and the Franconian Jura. The Table Jura thus ranges from near the Swiss city of Basel to the German city of Coburg.
